A Management Framework for Software Project Development
نویسنده
چکیده
Software project development includes a number of activities that result in a delivered product (software). As software becomes more and more expensive to develop, project management has been recognised as a difficult task in practice. There are a lot of unpredictable factors existing in the software development cycle that have become contributing factors to this problem. This paper gives an overview of the present state of the art of the software development projects. Moreover, a framework is proposed to help project management to get better understanding and make all activities run on schedule. A case study is included to demonstrate the merit of this framework.
