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.

The presentation was based on findings from PISA 2022 results and the webinar helped launch the PISA in Focus ‘Managing screen time: How to protect and equip students against distraction’ https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/education/managing-screen-time_7c225af4-en and the OECD Education Policy Perspective ‘Students, digital devices and success’ can be found here - https://oe.cd/il/5yV
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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.

Good Project Management requires structured
software development environment, such as CMMI.
We also know that soft factors such as flextime, etc.
enable a highly productive project environment.
Doesn’t it seem to be a contradiction? As a project
manager, discuss the kind of environment you would
like to create to successfully manage your projects?
3. Project Success Rates
• The 2001 Standish Group Report Showed
significant Improvement in IT Project Success
Rates compared to 1995 stats:
– Time overruns: decreased to 63% compared to 222%
– Cost overruns were down to 45% compared to 189%
– Required features were up to 67% compared to 61%
– 78,000 U.S. projects were successful vs. to 28,000
– 28% of IT projects succeeded compared to 16%
• Why the Improvements?
• Better tools for monitoring and control
• More skilled PM’s, more process, more user involvement
• And “The fact that there are processes is significant in
itself.“
4. Why Do Projects Succeed?

and bringing it to an orderly end
19. Organizational Structures
• Functional
– Engineering, Marketing, Design, etc
– P&L from production
• Project
– Project A, Project B
– Income from projects
– PM has P&L responsibility
• Matrix
– Functional and Project based
– Program Mgmt. Model
– Shorter cycles, need for rapid development process
20. Functional Organization
• Pros
– Clear definition of authority
– Eliminates duplication
– Encourages specialization
– Clear career paths
• Cons
– “Walls”: can lack customer orientation
– “Silos” create longer decisions cycles
– Conflicts across functional areas
– Project leaders have little power
21. • structure of an organization based on
functional performance; organizational
departments created to fulfill organizational
functions such as marketing, finance, and
personnel. This type of organization has
characteristics of both line and staff
functions.
22. • Over time, this approach changes an organization.
The hierarchy and bureaucracy become weaker.
Career success depends on the results of the
projects on which you work, not just time on in a
position or politics. The organization develops
executives who manage projects. They are not
necessarily technical experts, they are experts in
running many different kinds of projects. Last, the
organization becomes more agile, able to respond
to changing customer needs.
23. Project Organization
• Pros
– Unity of command
– Effective inter-project
communication
• Cons
– Duplication of facilities
– Career path
• Examples: defense avionics, construction
24. Matrix Organization
• Pros
– Project integration across
functional lines
–Efficient use of resources
–Retains functional teams
• Cons
– Two bosses for personnel
– Complexity
– Resource & priority conflicts
25. Matrix Forms
• Weak, Strong, Balanced
• Degree of relative power
• Weak: functional-centric
• Strong: project-centric

28. Isomorphic Team Structure
• If project team closely reflects the physical
structure of deliverables
• Risk of project’s quality integration
• PM functions as an integrator
• Duplication, linking, styles etc to be
standardized by the PM
• It’s a simple structure
• Best suited to independent modules
30. Specialty Team Structure
• Team members apply their special expertise
across a wide array of tasks
• Emphasis towards their specialty and not
deliverables
• Responsibility is more diffused and problem
diagnosis is difficult
• Integration problems are greater than those of
the isomorphic structure
• It fits in nicely with matrix system
32. Egoless Team Structure
• Egos may have ill-effects
• Ego-less team structure is a truly collaborative effort
that makes it hard to find who produced what
portion of the product
• No leader but consensus
• Team members collaborate jointly and ego problem
is minimized
• Encourages interactivity and communication
• Due to lack of leadership Ego-less team could drift
• State of the art projects
34. Software Teams
• Many organization structures …
• Political and practical consequences of
organizational change (is it within the PM
scope of responsibility?)
36. Democratic Decentralized
–No team leader
–Different task assigned to different
task coordinators who are appointed
for little time
–Consensuses based problem solving
–Horizontal communication
40. Because the project is, by definition, a temporary
entity and must come to an end, the PM must be
concerned with the future of the people who serve on
the team. If the PM does not get involved in helping
project workers with the transition back to their
functional homes or to new projects, then as the
project nears completion, project workers will pay
more and more attention to protecting their own future
careers and less to completing the project on time.
(Shown by “S”Curve)
Transition Challenge
42. Key Differentiator: People
• The cultivation of motivated, highly skilled
software people has been discussed since
1960. In fact this factor is so important that
in addition to process capability model the
Software Institute has also developed a
people management capability maturity
model
43. Methods for Selecting Projects
• There are usually (always?) more projects
than available time and resources to
implement them
• Therefore: It is important to follow a logical process
for selecting IT projects to work on
• Methods include
– Focusing on broad needs
– Categorizing projects
– Financial methods
44. Broad Organizational Needs
• It is often difficult to provide strong justification
for many IT projects, but everyone agrees they
have a high value
• “It is better to measure gold roughly than to count pennies
precisely”
• Three important criteria for projects:
– There is a need for the project
– There are funds available
– There’s a strong will to make the project succeed
45. Categorizing IT Projects
• One categorization: whether project addresses
– a problem
– an opportunity
– a directive
• Another: how long it will take & when it is needed
• Another: overall priority of the project
46. Procurement Management
• Procurement means acquiring goods and/or
services from an outside source
– a.k.a. purchasing or outsourcing
• Know how your project fits-into this model
– Are you building “in-house”? “for hire”?
• Thus are you the ‘outside source’?
– As a startup? (thus in-house but as basis for
the business itself)
47. Why Outsource?
• To reduce both fixed and recurrent costs
• To allow the client organization to focus on
its core business
• To access skills and technologies
• To provide flexibility
• To increase accountability
48. Procurement Tools & Techniques
• Make-or-buy analysis (build vs. buy)
• Determining whether a particular product or service
should be made or performed inside the organization
or purchased from someone else. Often involves
financial analysis
• Experts
• Both internal and external, can provide valuable
inputs in procurement decisions
