Software development has become increasingly globalized because of technological innovation, the evolution of work and business processes, as well as prevailing educational systems and national policies [1]. This paper addresses the challenges faced when creating realistic opportunities for students to participate in team working on a globally distributed software engineering project. We examine the...
Project tracking is a critical process in project development lifecycle. Bypassing tracking of project may seriously dent the project schedule; efforts invested or may even lead to failure of the project. Therefore, monitoring the status of each stage in project lifecycle becomes inevitable. This paper highlights the effectiveness of Metric generator that efficiently manages the various input sources...
The past few years have witnessed dynamic changes in the field of software project management. These provided evidence of the strength of agile methodologies as a strategy that can speed up the development of rhythms and growth of innovation. Managing a project involves a complexity of requirements and developmental processes. This provides challenges to the project manager as he is accountable for...
A significant number of software development methods have been published over the last 40 years that purport to be properly based on empirical, adaptive and collaborative development. All suggest, some by name, rapid development; bringing systems to production rapidly and at lower cost. The latest manifestation of these methods is Agile Development. This paper pursues the idea that in normal, everyday...
Software professionals do not always clarify what they mean by their effort estimates. Knowing what is meant by an estimate is, however, essential when adding individual effort estimates from a work breakdown structure to find the estimated total effort. Adding the most likely instead of the mean effort of a set of cost elements may result in substantial underestimation of the total effort. In a survey...
Predicting how much effort will be required to complete a software project as early as possible is a very important factor in the success of software development projects. Including function points and its variants, there are several size measures and corresponding measurement methods that can be used for effort estimation. However, in most of the projects, there is limited amount of information available...
The research will focus on studying the feasibility of defining/ formalising model driven project management using PMBOK as base. This work proposes a model driven project management based upon all the Process and Knowledge management areas making use of modelling languages like UML and OCL. This is a unique attempt to define and describe the complete PM standard taking into consideration all the...
The use of software tools has become a common practice in global software engineering to handle requirements and to exchange project status amongst distributed teams and stakeholders. In context of agile software development the replacement of paper-based media (e.g. Task Board) with software tools results in heavily decreased collaboration and transparency within agile teams. Since the number of...
Search-Based Software Engineering (SBSE) applies search-based optimization techniques in order to solve complex Software Engineering problems. In the recent years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of SBSE applications in areas such as Software Test, Requirements Engineering, and Project Planning. Our focus is on the analysis of the literature in Project Planning, specifically the researches...
There are studies showing what happens if agile teams are introduced into a non-agile organization, e.g. Higher overhead costs and the necessity of an understanding of agile methods even outside the teams. This case study shows an example of work motivational aspects that might surface when an agile team exists in the middle of a more traditional structure. This case study was conducted at a car manufacturer...
During the last three decades, there has been great progress in the field of risk management. Risk management is particularly significant when it comes to software projects. This is because software projects are exposed to various serious risks, including interaction with humans, need for continuous development and occasional lack of proper evaluation procedures. These factors, combined with the extensive...
Requirements for initiating, planning, controlling, and executing the Software Quality Assurance processes of a software development or maintenance project are established in this standard. This standard is harmonized with the software life cycle process of ISO/IEC/IEEE 12207:2008 and the information content requirements of ISO/IEC/IEEE 15289:2011.
PROMCODE (PROject Management for COntracted DElivery) is an innovative research consortium to change the way of project management on the resource-oriented services platform. It was launched by Nanzan University and six major Japanese IT companies including Fujitsu, Hitachi, IBM, NEC, Nomura Research Institute, and NTT DATA in May, 2012. Since then, we have developed a common data model to exchange...
Decision making for software project management encompasses a critical role for effective management. Decisions stem from constraints considered over definition of a project. Decision making of this practice considered with many challenges ranged based on intangible nature of software projects to the deficiency of strategy-model employed. In this paper a conceptual multi-method simulation based framework...
This study establishes the use of software to provide efficiency for turnkey electrification projects in Ghana. A correlation design method is employed to a sample of thirty one stakeholders in the power distribution sector in Ghana, and it reveals that there is negative perceived ease of use of software for managements of electrical turnkey projects. T-Test conducted on usage of PM software indicated...
This article explains the experience of using ICT (Information and Communication Technology) for the design, visualization, verification and execution of the construction of the Romanian Orthodox Church in Barcelona. The goal is to evaluate and check if the procedures and devices tested through scientific and academic investigations are applicable in a real case, and in which degree, from the point...
This paper reports an experience on using the robot Lego Mindstorm NXT 2.0, model 8547, to support the teaching of Software Project Management. We conducted an experiment in which two teams developed a software project using the robot, while applying principles of project management. The experiment was divided into two parts. First, we verified the existence of related project management techniques...
Much has been argued about the benefits of using Scrum in software projects. This article reports a case study on an education institution's software development department through the application of certain practices of the Scrum to the software development process. The aim is to identify whether the team satisfaction is increased with the method utilization. Together with the case study, we applied...
The industry of IT is an important service section in the macro economy. This study evaluated the efficiency of IT teams and carried on a series of effective measurements for IT projects. We are interested in two aspects that are team structure and human factors of IT project team. Based on a live project supported by Xishanju, a sub company of Jinshan Software Corporation, we did some research by...
Typical education in management of software projects lacks practical experience. But experience is essential in under-standing the problems and especially their solutions. A real software project is difficult to practice because of its long duration and the potential of high damage if the project fails. Simulation games in a sandbox are a well-known approach for practicing complex content. But the...
