In this paper we present and discuss the findings of two case studies on software project management in industrial software development projects and the conclusions drawn from it. These studies were motivated to improve software project management capabilities. First, we describe how these studies were organized and performed. In the main part we present our findings and conclusions showing tha...

The project manager has been a ubiquitous feature of traditional software development projects. However, agile software development (ASD) methods which emphasize selforganizing teams and rapid response to change have done away with the project manager’s title. New job titles such as the scrum master and product owner have been introduced instead. It is unclear as to what extent the “project man...

In Mobile communications age, the IT environment and IT technology update rapidly. The requirements change is the software project must face challenge. Able to overcome the impact of requirements change, software development risks can be effectively reduced. Agile software development uses the Iterative and Incremental Development (IID) process and focuses on the workable software and client co...

--Requirements Management is one of the challenging and key tasks in the development of software products in distributed software development environment. One of the key reasons found in our literature survey the failure of software projects due to poor project management and requirement management activity. This main aim of this paper1. Formulate a framework for the successful and efficient re...

Introduction Modern software development consists of typical knowledge intensive tasks, in the sense that it requires that software developers create and share new knowledge during their daily work. In this paper we propose KnowBench a knowledge management system integrated inside Eclipse IDE that supports developers during the software development process to produce better quality software. Th...

Based on a web based survey of 158 IT software development practitioners, mostly from different organizations, this paper examines the application of Software Configuration Management (SCM) process in adaptable software development environments. From the literature review six independent variables and five dependent variables were derived to answer the research question “how does organization s...

In this article we argue the need for proper concept management during the development of software systems. It is observed how, during system development, a lot of “concept handling” occurs without proper management. We define concept management as the deliberate activity of introducing, evolving and retiring concepts. It is argued that concept management plays an important role during the enti...
