Project Management is the art of maximizing the probability that a project delivers its goals on Time, to Budget and at the required Quality.
Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements.
A project is an activity with specific goals which takes place over a finite period of time.
computer programs are not project management: they are tools for project managers to use. Project management is all that mix of components of control, leadership, teamwork, resource management etc that goes into a successful project.
Temporary means that every project has a definite beginning and a definite end.
Projects involve creating something that has not been done in exactly the same way before and which is, therefore, unique and distinct.
Four P's have a substantial influence on software project management-
People must be organized into effective teams, motivated to do high-quality software work, and coordinated to achieve effective communication.
The Product requirements must be communicated from customer to developer.
The Process must be adapted to the people and the problem.
The Project must be organized in a manner that enables the software team to succeed.
project scheduling: Project Scheduling in a project refers to roadmap of all activities to be done with specified order and within time slot allotted to each activity.
Project managers tend to define various tasks, and project milestones and they arrange them keeping various factors in mind.
project tracking:Periodic project status meetings with each team member reporting progress and problems
Evaluation of results of all work product reviews
Comparing actual milestone completion dates to scheduled dates
Comparing actual project task start-dates to scheduled start-dates

Continuous improvement is important to keep up with competition.
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.
This document discusses project scheduling for software engineering projects. It covers key topics such as:
- The importance of scheduling for establishing a roadmap and tracking progress on large, complex software projects.
- Basic principles of software project scheduling including compartmentalizing work, indicating interdependencies, allocating time and resources, and assigning responsibilities.
- Methods for defining tasks, networks, and timelines to plan and track schedules.
- Techniques for monitoring schedule performance such as status meetings, milestone tracking, and earned value analysis.
- Factors that influence schedules such as risks, changing requirements, estimates, and technical difficulties.
Project management involves planning, directing, and controlling resources to complete projects on time and within budget. There are three main types of project organization structures: pure project, functional project, and matrix project. A matrix project blends aspects of pure and functional projects by utilizing resources from different functional areas while allowing the project manager to decide tasks and timing. Key project management techniques include work breakdown structures to plan tasks hierarchically, network models to identify critical paths, and Gantt charts to schedule activities visually over time.
The document discusses various aspects of software project management including project planning activities like estimation, scheduling, staffing, and risk handling. It describes different project organization structures like functional organization and project organization. It also discusses different team structures like chief programmer teams, democratic teams, and mixed teams. The document emphasizes the importance of careful project planning and producing a software project management plan document. It also discusses considerations for staffing a project team and attributes of a good software engineer.
The document outlines the 10 step process for project planning according to PRINCE2 methodology. The 10 steps include: 1) selecting the project, 2) identifying objectives and scope, 3) establishing infrastructure, 4) analyzing characteristics, 5) identifying products and activities, 6) estimating effort for each activity, 7) identifying risks, 8) allocating resources, 9) reviewing and publicizing the plan, and 10) executing the plan through lower level planning as the project progresses. Each step provides detailed guidance on tasks to complete the planning for a project according to PRINCE2 standards.
Spm unit iii-risk-monitoring & control1Kanchana Devi
The document discusses project monitoring and control. It explains that after a project begins, progress must be regularly monitored by comparing actual achievements to schedules and revising plans as needed. Key aspects of monitoring include establishing a framework, assigning responsibilities, setting reporting structures and checkpoints, collecting and assessing data visually through charts, and tracking costs and schedules through earned value analysis. The overall goal is to exercise control by finding what is happening and comparing to targets to ensure projects meet their goals.
This document outlines a proposed software project management tool. It describes modules for business development officers, project managers, developers, HR managers, and clients. It identifies common problems like underqualified staff, unclear requirements, and changing tools mid-project. The proposed system would allow online project status inquiries, manage projects and validate requirements. It would generate reports on clients, employees, projects, and tasks. The system aims to improve project management and be user friendly.
Project controls involves managing the metrics of a project such as time, cost, quantities and resources. The project controller generates cost and schedule information for the project manager. Project controls analyzes data from the technical team, procurement, construction and other stakeholders to develop the project plan, cost estimate, budget, resource plan and schedule. The project controls process involves three steps - project planning, project execution, and project evaluation.
This document provides an overview of project control and status reporting techniques. It discusses monitoring project progress through earned value analysis, comparing planned, actual, and earned values. Status reports typically include a summary, accomplishments, plans, risk analysis, and issues. The document also demonstrates how to set up a project in Microsoft Project, including adding tasks, resources, durations, dependencies, and saving a baseline for comparison.
Layered Process Auditing (LPA) is a quality improvement tool for manufacturing that involves three layers of auditors - daily audits by coordinators, weekly audits by engineers/managers, and monthly audits by senior managers. The audits focus on high-risk processes and ensure key work steps are performed properly. Benefits include preventing errors, reducing rework and waste, and improving quality and customer satisfaction. Implementing LPA involves forming an audit team, identifying critical processes, developing audit checklists, training auditors, conducting audits, and establishing management review and follow-up processes to drive continuous improvement.
Project tracking, monitoring and control are essential for effective project management. Project tracking involves collecting facts about project progress, while monitoring involves analyzing these facts. Control compares progress to the plan so corrective actions can be taken for deviations. Key aspects that must be tracked include schedule, costs, resources, risks, and issues. Earned value management is a useful technique that integrates scope, time and cost to evaluate project performance. Regular project reviews help identify problems early and improve future project performance.

Earned value management is a useful technique that integrates scope, time and cost to evaluate project performance. Regular project reviews help identify problems early and improve future project performance.
Controlling is a process that measures performance and ensures desired results are achieved by taking corrective action. There are three types of controls: feedforward, concurrent, and feedback controls. The control process has four steps - establish objectives and standards, measure performance results, compare results to objectives, and take corrective action. Objectives and standards are set in step one. Performance is measured against the standards in step two. Step three involves comparing actual results to objectives to identify needs for action. In step four, corrective actions are taken to address problems or opportunities. Common control techniques include employee discipline systems, project management, Gantt charts, CPM/PERT, and financial controls like liquidity, leverage, asset management,
This chapter discusses project management techniques for systems analysis and design projects. It covers work breakdown structures, task patterns, critical path analysis, scheduling with Gantt charts and PERT/CPM charts, project monitoring and reporting, risk management, and reasons why projects fail. Project managers are responsible for planning, scheduling, monitoring, and reporting on the development of an information system to ensure it is completed on time, within budget, and meets requirements.
This chapter discusses project management techniques for systems analysis and design projects. It covers work breakdown structures, task patterns, critical path analysis, scheduling tools like Gantt charts and PERT/CPM charts, project monitoring, reporting, and risk management. Project managers are responsible for planning, scheduling, monitoring progress, reporting status, and ensuring projects are completed on time, within budget and meet requirements. Sound project management requires accurate estimates, monitoring progress against the plan, and addressing risks and issues as early as possible.
This document discusses controlling as a management function. It defines controlling as verifying that plans are followed and resources are efficiently used to achieve goals. Controlling measures deviations from standards and helps take corrective actions. The controlling process involves establishing standards, measuring performance, comparing actual and standard performance, and taking remedial actions. Traditional controlling techniques include personal observation, statistical data, break-even analysis, and budgetary control. Modern techniques include management information systems, PERT, CPM, and management audits. For controlling to be effective it must be accurate, timely, flexible, integrated, economically feasible, and enable corrective actions.
The Agile Manager: Empowerment and AlignmentSoftware Guru
In today’s business climate, change occurs at an ever-increasing pace. Managers and executives are increasingly challenged to build an organization that is able to respond effectively to this change. This is the essence of agility.
This talk will provide the latest thinking on building the agile organization, moving beyond the command and control paradigm to one that balances employee empowerment and business alignment.
This chapter discusses project management techniques including work breakdown structures, task patterns, critical path analysis, Gantt charts, PERT/CPM charts, risk management, and monitoring and controlling projects. It explains how to plan a project by identifying tasks, estimating durations, and determining dependencies. Project managers use scheduling tools to track progress and ensure projects are completed on time and on budget. Risk management and addressing issues that arise are also important for project success.
Operational control systems ensure day-to-day actions align with plans and objectives by focusing on recent performance and taking corrective action when standards are not met. The process of evaluation involves setting standards of performance, measuring actual performance against standards, analyzing any variances, and taking corrective actions. Standards are set by finding key performance areas and requirements, and measuring both quantitative metrics like profits and sales as well as qualitative factors. Performance is measured through accounting, reporting, and communication systems and analyzed by comparing actual results to budgets and standards.

It provides details on how to collect, measure, analyze, and present data for each metric. For task success, it discusses measuring binary success (completion or not) and levels of success. For time-on-task, it outlines how to record and analyze timing data. For errors, it describes what constitutes an error and how to organize error data. Efficiency considers both time and effort. Learnability examines how performance changes over repeated trials.
This document discusses software quality management and defect prevention. It defines what a defect is as a problem that causes software to stop running or produce incorrect results. It discusses how errors by humans can lead to defects in software. Several defect prevention techniques are covered, including elements of agile processes like short iterations and continuous testing, as well as uncertainty management techniques like risk identification and analysis. Root cause analysis is presented as a way to determine the underlying causes of problems or defects.
The document presents a maturity framework developed by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) to help software organizations improve their development processes. The framework characterizes processes into five maturity levels (Initial, Repeatable, Defined, Managed, Optimizing) based on the degree of process definition, measurement, control, and optimization. Higher levels involve more rigorous project management, defined and measured processes, data-driven process analysis and improvement. The framework is intended to help organizations assess their current status and prioritize process improvement actions.
The document summarizes Watts S. Humphrey's 1988 framework for characterizing software development processes into five levels of maturity. It describes the five levels - Initial, Repeatable, Defined, Managed, and Optimizing - and the key practices required to advance from one level to the next. The framework is intended to help organizations assess their current process capabilities and prioritize process improvement actions.
This document summarizes key aspects of managerial control discussed in Chapter 9. It outlines the role of controlling in the management process, the different types of controls, and the steps in the control process. It also describes several control tools and techniques used to establish and measure performance against objectives, including project management, inventory control, breakeven analysis, financial ratios, and balanced scorecards.
This document discusses project control and status reporting. It covers key aspects of project control including planning performance, measuring work status, comparing to baselines, and taking corrective actions. Status reporting should be done weekly and include accomplishments, future plans, risks, and issues. The document also introduces earned value analysis, which measures actual work progress against the planned budget and schedule to identify if a project is over or under budget and slipping in schedule. It establishes a performance measurement baseline to track a project's scope, schedule, and budget.

Hand Rolled Applicative User ValidationCode KataPhilip Schwarz
Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>?
The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory.
Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away.
The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.

Need for Speed: Removing speed bumps from your Symfony projects ⚡️Łukasz Chruściel
No one wants their application to drag like a car stuck in the slow lane! Yet it’s all too common to encounter bumpy, pothole-filled solutions that slow the speed of any application. Symfony apps are not an exception.
In this talk, I will take you for a spin around the performance racetrack. We’ll explore common pitfalls - those hidden potholes on your application that can cause unexpected slowdowns. Learn how to spot these performance bumps early, and more importantly, how to navigate around them to keep your application running at top speed.
We will focus in particular on tuning your engine at the application level, making the right adjustments to ensure that your system responds like a well-oiled, high-performance race car.
2. Project Control
• Ongoing effort to keep your project on track
• 4 primary activities:
– 1. Planning performance
• A plane, schedule, and a control process
– 2. Measuring status of work performed
• Actuals
– 3. Comparing to baseline
• Variances
– 4. Taking corrective action as needed
• Response
• Prerequisite to good control is a good plan
3. Project Control
• “Control”
• Power, authority, domination. No.
• Guiding a course of action to meet an objective. Yes.
• Principles
• Work is controlled, not workers
– Control helps workers be more effective & efficient
• Control based on work completed
– Use concrete deliverables
• Balance
– Appropriate level between too much and too little
– Includes:
» Micro-managing vs. neglect
» Too much tracking detail vs. too little
4. Progress Monitoring
• The 3 key Progress Monitoring Questions
– What is the actual status?
– If there’s a variance, what is cause?
– What to do about it?
• Possible responses
• 1. Ignore
• 2. Take corrective action
• 3. Review the plan
5. Progress Monitoring
• Monitoring rates
– Daily, weekly, monthly
– If problems occur – then adjust
• You may have to monitor problem areas more
closely for some period of time
• Almost always there’s one or more areas under
closer scrutiny
• Status Reporting
– Part of the communications management plan
– Which is usually just a section of SDP
6. Status Reports
• From team to PM, from PM to stakeholders
• Typical format for latter
– Summary
– Accomplishments for this period (done)
• Tasks, milestones, metrics
– Plans for next period (to-do)
– Risk analysis and review
– Issues & Actions
• Shoot for weekly updates
– Email notes, then hold brief meeting
– More frequently during crises
7. Programming Status Reporting
• A programmer reports that he’s 90% done.
– What does this mean?
• A programmer reports completing 4,000 LOC on
estimated 5,000 LOC effort.
• Is this 80% complete?
• Quality?
• Ratio, estimated to completed?
– Your estimates could have been wrong
• If you can’t measure scope or quality you don’t know “reality”
• You really only know cost (hours spent)
• How can you improve this?
8. Binary Reporting
• Work packages (tasks) can only be in one of 2
states: complete or incomplete
– No partial credit
• Preferred to anything subjective!
• “90% Complete Syndrome”
– Software is 90% complete 90% of the time
• Tangible exit criteria
9. Quiz
• Summarize what you have learnt about Project
Control in no more than 5 lines – 3 minutes to think 2
minutes to write
• List 5 step you could take as a PM to control
your software project – 7 minutes to think 3 minutes to write
• Design a sample status report you as PM would
like your team to use – 10 minutes to think 10 minutes to write
