This paper focuses on the project case, which is based on the project time management theory, combined with the software project, especially the characteristics of the software project based on cloud computing platform. We show the general process of software project progress management. For different processes, we propose schedule arrangement for better management. Through the project activity...

A medium-sized west-European telecom company experienced a worsening trend in performance, indicating that the organization did not learn from history, in combination with much time and energy spent on preparation and review of project proposals. In order to create more transparency in the supplier proposal process a pilot was started on Functional Size Measurement pricing (FSM-pricing). In thi...

Software process improvement is seen by many as a viable strategy for overcoming the software crisis. It is, however, difficult to determine the actual effect of such improvement efforts. This paper reports from an organization that is implementing a software metrics program with the expressed purpose of measuring the effects of their improvement project. The metrics program is intended to meas...

Current software project management techniques rely on collecting metrics to provide the progress feedback necessary to allow control of the project; however, interpretation of this data is di cult. A software implementation progress model is needed to help interpret the collected data. Criteria for an implementation progress model are developed and an implementation progress model is proposed....

Mum effect is a situation when one or more project stakeholders decide to withhold critical information for particular reasons. In software project where most of the production is intangible, the seriousness of this challenge increases exponentially. There have been reports indicating that mum effect can surface during any phase of development and ultimately lead to disaster in software project...
