Received: 4 May 2008 Revised: 7 October 2008 2nd Revision: 25 June 2009 Accepted: 25 June 2009 Abstract Software development is a complex undertaking that continues to present software project teams with numerous challenges. Software project teams are adopting extreme programming (XP) practices in order to overcome the challenges of software development in an increasingly dynamic environment. T...

Organizations have lost billions of dollars due to poor software project implementations. Software project management is a complex process requiring extensive planning, effective decision-making, and proper monitoring throughout the course of the project. The knowledge one gains during a project is rarely captured and reused on subsequent projects. In an effort to enable software project manage...

This paper focuses on the project case, which is based on the project time management theory, combined with the software project, especially the characteristics of the software project based on cloud computing platform. We show the general process of software project progress management. For different processes, we propose schedule arrangement for better management. Through the project activity...

To reduce the high failure rate of software projects, managers need better tools to assess and manage software project risk. In order to create such tools, however, information systems researchers must first develop a better understanding of the dimensions of software project risk and how they can affect project performance. Progress in this area has been hindered by: (1) a lack of validated in...

Project management is an important factor to accomplish the decision to implement large-scale software systems (LSS) in a successful manner. The effective project management comes into play to plan, coordinate and control such a complex project. Project management factor has been argued as one of the important Critical Success Factor (CSF), which need to be measured and monitored carefully duri...

Project planning is one of the most important activities in software projects. Poor planning often leads to project faults and dramatic outcomes for the project team. If cost and effort are determined pessimistic in software projects, suitable occasions can be missed; whereas optimistic predictions can be caused to some resource losing. Nowadays software project managers should be aware of the ...

a successful software should be finalized with determined and predetermined cost and time. software is a production which its approximate cost is expert workforce and professionals. the most important and approximate software cost estimation (sce) is related to the trained workforce. creative nature of software projects and its abstract nature make extremely cost and time of projects difficult ...

Software estimation provides an important tool for project planning; whose quality and accuracy greatly affect the success of a project. There are several area of the software engineering in which we can use the function point analysis like project planning, project construction, software implementation etc. In software development, accuracy and efficiency of cost estimation methodology for a w...
