Project Management

  • Software Projects – factors that influence results:
    • size
    • delivery deadline
    • budgets and costs
    • application domain
    • technology to be implemented - system constraints - user requirements - available resources

Project Management Concerns

staffing?

cost estimation? project scheduling?

project monitoring?

other resources?

customer communication?

risk assessment?

product quality?

measurement?

-Comment for animation- All these point come one by one as in the previous slide. Line as well as the caption will appear one by one, starting from product quality then risk assessment.

Why Projects Fail?

  • changing customer requirements
  • ambiguous/incomplete requirements
  • an unrealistic deadline is established
  • an honest underestimate of effort
  • predictable and/or unpredictable risks
  • technical difficulties
  • miscommunication among project staff
  • failure in project management

Team Leaders

  • MOI model of leadership - Weinberg
    • Motivation:
      • The ability to encourage technical people to produce their best
    • Organization:
      • The ability to mold the existing processes (or invent new ones) that will enable the initial concept to be translated into a final product
    • Idea or innovation:
      • The ability to encourage people to create and feel creative

The Software Team

Organization

  • Democratic decentralized (DD)
    • No permanent leader
    • Task coordinators are appointed for short duration
    • Decisions on problems and approach are made by group consensus
    • Communication among team is horizontal

The Software Team

Organization

  • Controlled decentralized (CD)
    • Defined leader who coordinates specific tasks
    • Problem solving remains a group activity
    • Communication among subgroups and individuals is horizontal. Vertical communication along the control hierarchy also occurs.
