3. WHAT IS SOFTWARE PROJECT MANAGEMENT?
Software project management is the process of planning,
organizing, and overseeing the development of software
projects by using specialized methodologies and tools.
It involves managing resources, time, risks and tasks to
ensure that the project is completed successfully and
meets its goals.

4. Project Life Cycle (PLC)
 Initiation: Defining the project goals and feasibility.
 Planning: Detailed project plan including scope, schedule, and
resources.
 Execution: Actual development and implementation of the project.
 Monitoring and Controlling: Tracking the progress and making
necessary adjustments.
 Closure: Finalizing all activities and closing the project.

5. PLC vs SDLC
Project life cycle is a part of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), the Project
Life Cycle outlines the general phases of managing a project from start to finish,
while the SDLC details the specific stages involved in developing a software.
