- Organizing, planning and scheduling software projects
- Project management involves the planning, monitoring, and control of people, process, and events that occur during software development.
- Everyone manages, but the scope of each person's management activities varies according his or her role in the project.
- Software needs to be managed because it is a complex undertaking with a long duration time.
- Managers must focus on the fours P's to be successful (people, product, process, and project).
- A project plan is a document that defines the four P's in such a way as to ensure a cost effective, high quality software product.
- The only way to be sure that a project plan worked correctly is by observing that a high quality product was delivered on time and under budget.
