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 scheduling is the next step once project planning completed. This requires knowledge and depth of activities, dependencies between activities and, duration activities. Creating designing a realistic schedule biggest challenges manager faces. There are some common problems that can be impact towards delay or performance: Assigning Resource Constraint, Managing Unknown Change Estimating T...

Risk management is one of the most influential parts of project management that has a major impact on the success or failure of projects. Due to the increasing use of information technology (IT) systems in all fields and the high failure rate of IT projects in software development and production, it is essential to effectively manage these projects is essential. Therefore, this study is aimed t...

Software project management skills are becoming an important component of software engineering education. Software engineers working in teams need to carefully plan and coordinate their efforts in order to be successful. Unfortunately, most universities provide inadequate education in software project management. Most use lecture-based approaches which provide the necessary steps in software pr...

The software industry has a growing demand for project managers which has leveraged the efforts to improve the teaching of project management competencies in higher education computer courses. Part of these efforts has been concentrated on improving instructional feedback when teaching these competencies. Instructional feedback is essential in order to help the students to learn based on an eva...

Software project management tools have become essential for effectively managing software development efforts. Project managers need straightforward yet effective progress and status reports based on metrics for themselves and stakeholders – reports intuitively produced without resorting to a 200-page manual. This paper introduces CrownVision, a new type of project management software system wh...

This paper introduces an innovative visualisation technique for exposing the software defects that develop as a software project evolves. The application of this technique to a large-scale industrial software project is described together with the way in which the technique was modified to enable integration with the software configuration management process. The paper shows how a number of for...
