 Effective software project management focuses
on the three P’s
 People
 Problem
 Process
 The manager who forgets that software
engineering work will never get success in the
project

3. Software Engineering
 People
This is the most important factor in the software
engineering
Software Engineering Institute has developed a people
management capability maturity model
This model defines the key practice areas for the
software people
Recruiting
Selection
Performance
Training
Career Development
Team Development

4. Software Engineering
 Motivate
 This model is for the welfare of the software
people
 Off course these are people who enable the
organization to take complex projects
 Organization that achieve high levels of maturity
in the people management area have a higher
implementation of effective software engineering
practices

5. Software Engineering
 Problem
Before a project can be planned, its objectives should be established.
Alternative solutions should be considered
Without this it is impossible to define reasonable estimates of the cost.

6. Software Engineering
 Process
A software process provides the framework which
a comprehensible plan for software development
can be established
