The major areas of problem decomposition during the project scoping activity are the

Effective software project management focuses on the four P’s: people, product, process, and project.

The People

 People factor is very much important in the process of software development.

 There are following areas for software people like, recruiting, selection, performance management,

training, compensation, career development, organization and work design, and team/culture

development.

 Organizations achieve high levels of maturity in the people management area.

The Product

 Before a project can be planned, product objectives and scope should be established, alternative

solutions should be considered and technical and management constraints should be identified.

 Without this information, it is impossible to define reasonable estimates of the cost, an effective

assessment of risk, a realistic breakdown of project tasks, or a manageable project schedule.

 Objectives identify the overall goals for the product without considering how these goals will be

achieved.

 Scope identifies the primary data, functions and behaviours that characterize the product.

 Once the product objectives and scope are understood, alternative solutions are considered. From

the available various alternatives, managers and practitioners select a "best" approach.

The Process

 A software process provides the framework from which a comprehensive plan for software

development can be established.

 A small number of frame-work activities are applicable to all software projects, regardless of their size

or complexity.

 A number of different tasks, milestones, work products and quality assurance points enable the

framework activities to be adapted to the characteristics of the software project and the

requirements of the project team.

 Finally, umbrella activities such as software quality assurance, software configuration management,

and measurement overlay the process model.

The Project

 We conduct planned and controlled software projects for one primary reason it is the only known

way to manage complexity.

 A software project manager and the software engineers who build the product must avoid a set of

common warning signs, understand the critical success factors that lead to good project

management, and develop a common sense approach for planning, monitoring and controlling the

project.
