Project Management
The first step to be taken in Project Management is Project Planning.
There are five major activities that are performed in Project Planning.
- Project Estimation,
- Project Scheduling,
- Risk Analysis,
- Quality Management Planning,
- Change Management Planning,
For the meaningful project development the scope must be bounded. The Problem for which the product is to be built is then decomposed into a set of smaller problems. Each of these is estimated using historical data (metrics) and / or previous experience as a guide.
The two important issues Problem Complexity and Risk are considered before final estimate is made.
There are many useful techniques for time and effort estimation. Process and Project metrics can provide historical perspective and powerful input for generation of quantitative estimates.
Estimation of recourse, cost and schedule for a software engineering effort requires.
- Experience,
- Access to good historical information (metrics) and
- The courage to commit to quantitative predictions when quantitative information is
available.
While estimating the Project both the Project Planner and the customer should recognize that variability in software requirement means instability in cost and schedule. When customer changes the requirements, then estimation needs to be revisited.
