CERN Recently SCRAM (Software Configuration And Management) has been adopted by the applications area of the LHC computing grid project as baseline configuration management and build support infrastructure tool. SCRAM is a software engineering tool, that supports the configuration management and management processes for software development. It resolves the issues of configuration definition, a...

The amount of software has increased in several products. Software projects have become more complex and their management requires significant amount of skills from every project manager. The amount of available resources, strict budgets, cost control and need for accurate reporting and documentation as well as good quality are part of every project managers’ life. As business challenges projec...

P research has studied how the selection and use of control portfolios in software projects is based on environmental and task characteristics. However, little research has examined the consequences of control mode choices on project performance. This paper reports on a study that addresses this issue in the context of outsourced software projects. In addition, we propose that boundary-spanning...

In this study, a simulation model for the strategic management process of software development projects is presented. The proposed model simulates the implications of strategic decisions on factors such as cost, risk, budget and schedule of software projects. The main advantage of the proposed model is that it provides an integrated framework wherein risk management, cost estimation, and projec...

Software project management is one of the most challenging in software development. Software projects are important part into almost every business application. It is quality, efficiency and effectiveness of these applications will determine the failure or success of many business solutions. Over the past few decades, software projects often failed to come up to user expectations, by it were co...

The University degrees about engineering in general, and software engineering in particular, contain subjects related with Project Management. In this subject, the most commonly used software for practical classes and homework is MS-Project. Nevertheless, the students find that MS-Project is not easy to use and that it requires a high knowledge about Project Management and about the use of the ...

Proper and effective Software Project Management is usually the most important factor in the outcome of a project for many companies in modern graphical printing industry production and their project engineers and managers [2]. Article opens new analytical directions for proper management of the software project in modern graphical printing industry production, which can be one of the important...

1 Patricia Mandl-Striegnitz, Dept. of SE., University of Stuttgart, Breitwiesenstr. 20-22, 70565 Stuttgart, Germany, [email protected] Abstract  A crucial factor for the success or failure of software development projects is the qualification of project managers. But how can future project managers be prepared for their role? To successfully manage a software project, theoret...
