The working pattern of an IT company dedicated to software development can be seen divided into two parts:
• Software Creation
• Software Project Management
A project is a well-defined task, which is a collection of various operations performed to achieve a goal (eg, software development and delivery). A project can be characterized as:
• Each project can have a unique and different purpose.
• The project is not a routine activity or daily operations.
• The project comes with a start time and an end time.
• The project ends when its goal is achieved, making it a temporary phase in the life of an organization.
• The project needs adequate resources in terms of time, labor, finance, material and knowledge bank.
Software Project
A software project is the complete software development procedure from requirement collection to testing and maintenance, carried out according to the execution methodologies, within a specified period of time to achieve the desired software product.
