This document discusses key aspects of software project management including planning, estimation, scheduling, risk management, and control. It covers:
1. Project planning establishes a strategy for controlling, tracking, and monitoring technical projects to ensure successful completion on time and with quality.
2. Estimation techniques include analogous, bottom-up, and parametric which estimate costs based on previous projects, work items, and mathematical models of project characteristics.
3. Risk management systematically reduces harm from risks like cost overruns through identification, analysis, prioritization, planning, resolution, and monitoring risks from sources like budgets, scope changes, and technical issues.

Project Plan Development - A FlackVentures Training ExampleKate Pynn
Project planning is the construction of a dynamic agreement across diverse functional groups involved in a project. This agreement specifies:
Goals and deliverables of the project
What is being developed
Major activities that will be performed to achieve those goals
The assumptions that were made
Major risks, as they become known
Software Project Management | An Overview of the Software Project ManagementAhsan Rahim
Management is the process of getting things done through others, it is the process of coordinating people & other resources to achieve the goals of the organization. A project is a set of related tasks that are coordinated to achieve a specific objective in a given time limit. A project is well-defined task, which is a collection of several operations done in order to achieve a goal. Software is the program & all associated documentation & configuration data which is needed to make these programs operate correctly.
A Software Project is the complete procedure of software development from requirement gathering to testing & maintenance, carried out according to the execution methodologies, in a specified period of time to achieve intended software product.
Today as we see, software has become an inseparable part of human life. Almost everything we can look around is managed, controlled by software.
The goal of software project management is to understand, plan, measure, and control the project such that it is delivered on time and on budget. This involves gathering requirements, managing risk, monitoring and controlling progress, and following a software development process.
Project Management Professional (PMP) FundamentalsSowmak Bardhan
Project management is needed because it ensures what (read: Project) is being delivered, is right, and will deliver real value against the business opportunity.
Every client has strategic goals and the projects that we do for them advance those goals. Project management is important because part of a Project Manager’s duties is to ensure there’s rigor in architecting projects properly so that they fit well within the broader context of our client’s strategic frameworks.
Good project management ensures that the goals of projects closely align with the strategic goals of the business.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. Lecture Two
Software Project Management
´ In this lecture, we will focus on:
´ Project Planning
´ Project Size Estimation metrics and techniques
´ Scheduling and team structure
´ Risk Management

3. Project Planning
Project Planning
The overall goal of project planning is to establish a pragmatic
strategy for controlling, tracking, and monitoring a complex
technical project.
Or,
A Plan is the strategy for the successful completion of the
project. It's a description of the project steps that produce
increasing maturity of the products or processes produced by
the project.
Why?
So the end result gets done on time, with quality!
3
4. Why plan?
Why plan?
i. To achieve a specific goal
ii. To reduce the complexity risk of having unclear
role
iii. To increase quality of productivity
iv. To balance the triple constraints (Time, Scope, Cost)
4
5. Planning is essential to control
Planning is essential to control
´ An effective way to exert control is to:
´ Know where you are
´ Know where you are supposed to be
´ Take corrective action if there is a difference between
the two
´ Note:
´ You have to have a plan to know where you are
supposed to be
´ If you have no plan, you have no control
5
6. Primary Planning Steps
Primary Planning Steps
1. Identify project scope and objectives
2. Define and Record Requirements
3. Identify project organizational environment
´ Analyze project characteristics
´ Identify Project Team and Define Roles and
Responsibilities
4. Identify project products and activities
5. Identify Risks and Define Risk Strategies
6. Review and communicate plan
7. Obtain Plan Approval
8. Conduct Kick-off Meeting
6
7. Project Scope Management
Project Scope Management
´ Project scope management is one of the most critical
project management knowledge (skill) areas
´ Scope defines
´ All the work that is required to complete the project
successfully and
´ Only the work that is required, no more, no less
´ project scope management defines and controls what is
and is not part of the project work
7
8. Project Time Management
Project Time Management
´ Project time management is the project management
knowledge area concerned with analyzing the logical and
temporal relationships among the activities needed to
complete the project .
´ In a conventional methodology, the project schedule acts
as the planning backbone for virtually all other project
activities
8
9. Planning, Estimating, Scheduling
Planning, Estimating, Scheduling
´ What's the difference?
´ Plan: Identify activities. No specific start and end
dates.
´ Estimating: Determining the size & duration of
activities.
´ Schedule: Adds specific start and end dates,
relationships, and resources.
9
Decomposition is the process of breaking the project scope
and deliverables into smaller, more manageable
components. Decomposition is usually performed in a top-
down, hierarchical manner
10. Project Cost Management
´ Cost is a resource sacrificed or fore-gone to achieve a specific
objective or something given up in exchange
´ Project cost management includes the processes required to
ensure that the project is completed within an approved budget.
10
11. Cost Estimation Tools and Techniques
´ 3 basic tools and techniques for cost estimates:
´ Analogous or top-down: use the actual cost of a previous, similar
project as the basis for the new estimate
´ Bottom-up: estimate individual work items and sum them to get a total
estimate
´ Parametric: use project characteristics in a mathematical model to
estimate costs
11
12. Project Risk Management
Project Risk Management
Definitions:
Definitions:
´ Risk is the probability of incurring some net loss while
pursuing a goal.
´ Risk management is a systematic approach to
reducing the harm due to risks, making a project less
vulnerable to challenge or failure (e.g., cost or
schedule overruns, scope decrease, quality
reduction) and its resulting product more robust.
