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.

Network Diagrams and Resource Utilization
Introduction | Building a Network Diagram | Building an AIB Manually | AIB Simulation | Resource Constrained Planning | Resource Leveling | Adding or Modifying Resources | Summary
Introduction
Back to Top
Last week, we learned more about how to begin planning a project. We established the project charter, scope statement, work breakdown structure, and created the activity list. This week, we will talk about one of the most important aspects of project management—building a project schedule. We'll use a tool called a network diagram. There are several ways to build a network diagram. In this course, we will use the Activity in Box (AIB) method.
Building a Network Diagram
Back to Top
Now that we know what needs to be done, we need to sequence all of the activities and establish a network diagram. With the concept of a network diagram, you will be able to determine: (1) a project's scheduled completion time, (2) the slack or float of project activities, and (3) the critical path of your project.
Depending on the size of the project, the network may be built in pieces or as a large group. Either way, the step-by-step process to build a project network is used.
Build a Project Network (or a Partial Network)
1. Brainstorm activities that are required to complete the work packages, recording those activities on Post-it notes (without regard to sequencing).
2. Sequence those activities. Determine:
· The order of activities
· Which activities can occur at the same time
· Which activities need dependencies
1. Mandatory: requires the completion of another task.
2. Discretionary: a best practice or convenience. However, the subsequent task can begin if the discretionary dependency is not completed.
3. External: from another project or process, such as permits.
4. Internal: dependencies within the control of the project team.
3. Put the notes on a wall using the above information.
4. Build a network using the notes.
Next, the activities are assigned to the people who will be doing the work. They build duration estimates for the activities. The most accurate estimates are built using actuals from previous, similar projects. Then, the activities can be loaded into an automated scheduling tool like Microsoft Project. At that point, you will be able to determine the project's scheduled completion time, the slack or float of project activities, and the critical path of your project.
Building an AIB Manually
Back to Top
The good thing about using a tool like Microsoft Project is that it makes it easy to build a network diagram. The bad thing about the tool is that it makes it so easy; project managers don't always understand what they are doing, and cannot see when they have made a mistake. They just plug in the activities and move on.
It's like adding—you should first do it manually, and then use a calculator. Every project manager should know how to build an AIB manually so that he or she really understands the.
The MTL Professional Development Programme is a collection of 202 PowerPoint presentations that will provide you with step-by-step summaries of a key management or personal development skill. This presentation is on "Time and Projects" and will show you how to bring your projects in on time, cost, and spec.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

A task that has a finite duration, has well
defined execution path and objectives to
achieve, and requires utilization of certain
resources, is called a Project.
Resources can be any animate or inanimate
object. For example, Time, money,
manpower & machines, etc.
Microsoft Project helps in managing project
timeline and resource management.
This tutorial uses Microsoft Office Project
2007.
3. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
A project has basically two modes –
Planning mode
Tracking mode
The first leg of this tutorial that starts from
the next slide describes creating project
plan, the second leg will describe the
tracking mode.
6. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
Start by defining the properties of the
project
You need to know the start date of the
Project
Open “Project Menu” and select “Project
Information”, and write the Project start
date there. See screenshot on next slide -
8. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
Go to “Tools” menu and select “Options”.
Select “General” tab from the top of the
dialog box.
You can switch the task pane on/off here, or
set the Advice Wizard on/off.
You may define the Standard Rate and
Overtime rates here.
10. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
You can set the week start day, fiscal year
start month, daily work start & end time,
working hours per day, working hours per
week and number of working days per month
here for your project.
12. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
You can start adding tasks and sub tasks to
the project now.
break the whole project into individual tasks.
Normally, a task involves one person or a
small group of people over a span of time
that can be measured in days.
14. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
to group tasks under phases, grouping is done
from the top down with Final total at the
very top, with Subtotals below and so on.
Look at the next screenshot for a how-to on
creating subtasks.
17. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
define the duration of all the tasks.
The next screen shows tasks having a well-
defined duration.
You don’t need to define the duration for the
task group, it is evaluated using subtasks
automatically.
19. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
In MS Project a task that must be completed
before another task can start is called a
predecessor.
The first task has no predecessor and each of the
following tasks has to have at least one.
In some cases a task may have several
predecessors meaning that several tasks have to
be completed before that one can start.
In other cases a task may be predecessor to
several others - its completion can allow several
other tasks to start.
22. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
Two of the techniques used for project
management are called Critical Path
Management (CPM) and Program Evaluation and
Review Techniques (PERT).
The technique involves using network models to
trace the links between tasks and to identify the
tasks which are critical to meeting the deadlines.
When you have a large number of tasks
overlapping you really have to use the right tool
to show which tasks can be delayed and which
must be on time.
23. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
Once you've identified the critical path, any
delay on any part of the critical path will
cause a delay in the whole project.
It is where managers must concentrate their
efforts.
In MS Project, you use the Tracking Gantt
diagram to show the critical path in red
and you can see the PERT diagram by looking
at the Network view.
26. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
Now, you'll want to track the degree of
completion of each of the tasks.
You could do that every day as you go along.
As soon as something starts to go off track,
you can react and adjust accordingly.
29. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
people are resources that you have to
manage well in order to achieve the project's
objectives.
You may also need some material resources -
equipment, supplies, specialized
environments - that you will have to
schedule and pay for.
You can easily include the management of
resources in MS Project along with the tasks
30. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
You must start by identifying the resources
available along with their costs.
Resource costs will be multiplied by duration
to calculate project costs.
You have to open the Resource sheet to
specify the projet resources and costs.
32. PreparedBy:AnilPurushothaman
To track costs, you insert a Cost column next
to the Resources column.
When you assign the resources to each task,
the costs will be calculated an displayed.
