  11. What is Software Project Management? Software Project Management is distinct from managing any other project due to complexity involved in the development process: • Product: Composed of many programs, functions, routines and subroutines that integrate and perform the intended functions. • Visibility: The product has no shape or size that can be measured. • Monitoring: Traditional measurement of performance cannot be applied to software.

  12. What is Software Project Management? Software Project Management is distinct from managing any other project due to complexity involved in the development process: • Sensitivity: As software applications are growing mission critical, the margin for error is severely limited. • Quality Assurance: Techniques to streamline and measure SW development are comparatively new and as yet not calibrated for error free use.
