Answer all questions
1.Explain the importance of four P’s in the software project management spectrum.
Answer : The effective software project management Focuses on four P's.
1) The People
2) The Product
3) The Process
4) The Project
2.Define Statement of Work (SOW). Which are the Project Management Associations?
Answer : When it comes to implementing or constructing large and complex systems (such as an
enterprise software system), the work requirements and conditions should be properly
documented. Statement of Work (SOW) is such document that describes what needs to be done in
the agreed contract.
Usually, the SOW is written in a precise and definitive language that is relevant to the field of
business. This prevents any misinterpretations
3.Explain briefly about the basic COCOMO Model.
Answer: The Constructive Cost Model (COCOMO) is an algorithmic software cost estimation model
developed by Barry Boehm. The model uses a basic regression formula, with parameters that are
derived from historical project data and current project characteristics.
Basic COCOMO computes software development effort (and cost) as a function of program size.
Program size is expressed in estimated thousands of source lines of code (SLOC).

2. 4.Write the Conventions followed in PERT.
Answer : Definition of PERT :
A PERT chart is a graph that represents all of the tasks necessary to a project's completion, and the
order in which they must be completed along with the corresponding time requirements. Certain
tasks are dependent on serial tasks, which must be completed in a certain sequence.
Four requirements of PERT :
1. Identify the specific activities and milestones.
2. Determine the proper sequence of the
5 List the various activities under the risk management.
Answer : Four foundational elements frame what executive management and directors need to
consider when evaluating the best way to implement enterprise risk management (ERM). These four
elements – process, integration, culture and infrastructure – are intended to be flexible in
application because strategies, organizational structures, operating philosophies and risk profiles
vary in complexity across industries and firms. We
6 Define
a) Software assurance,
Answer : Software assurance (SwA) is defined as "the level of confidence that software is free from
vulnerabilities, either intentionally designed into the software or accidentally inserted at anytime
during its lifecycle, and that the software functions in the intended manner."
The main objective of software assurance is to ensure that the processes, procedures, and products
used to produce and sustain the software
(b) Software Engineering,
Answer : Software engineering (SE) is concerned with developing and maintaining software systems
that behave reliably and efficiently, are affordable to develop and maintain, and satisfy all the
requirements that customers have defined for them. It is important because of the impact of large,
expensive software systems and the role of software in safety-critical applications. It integrates
significant mathematics, computer science and
(c) Software Management,
Answer : "Managing software" and "managing software development" is a complex subject which is
surrounded by a lot of bruhahah and fancy marketing presentations full of neat-looking flow charts
and ambiguous terminology. I'm trying to establish some common vocabulary so we sort-of know
what we're talking about.

3. Real life software management
(d) Software reviews,
Answer : A software review is "A process or meeting during which a software product is examined by
a project personnel, managers, users, customers, user representatives, or other interested parties
for comment or approval".
In this context, the term "software product" means "any technical document or partial document,
produced as a deliverable of a software development activity", and may include documents such as
contracts, project plans and budgets, requirements documents, specifications, designs, source code,
user documentation, support and
(e) Code Reviews
Answer : Code review is systematic examination (often known as peer review) of computer source
code. It is intended to find and fix mistakes overlooked in the initial development phase, improving
both the overall quality of software and the developers' skills. Reviews are done in various forms
such as pair programming, informal walkthroughs, and formal inspections.
Code reviews can often find and remove common vulnerabilities such as format string exploits, race
conditions, memory leaks and buffer overflows, thereby improving software security. Online
software repositories based on Subversion (
