  1. Project Management CIS 375 Bruce R. Maxim UM-Dearborn

  2. Management Spectrum • People • Product • Process • Project

  3. People • Recruiting • Selection • Performance management • Training • Compensation • Career development • Organization • Work design • Team/culture development

  4. Productivity and People

  5. Software Team Roles

  6. Matching People to Tasks

  7. Software team Organization • Democratic decentralized • rotating task coordinators • group consensus • Controlled decentralized • permanent leader • group problem solving • subgroup implementation of solutions • Controlled centralized • top level problem solving • internal coordination managed by team leader

  8. Chief Programmer Team

  9. Democratic

  10. Factors Affecting Team Organization • Difficulty of problem to be solved • Size of resulting program • Team lifetime • Degree to which problem can be modularized • Required quality and reliability of the system to be built • Rigidity of the delivery date • Degree of communication required for the project

  11. Communication and Coordination • Formal, impersonal approaches • documents, milestones, memos • Formal interpersonal approaches • review meetings, inspections • Informal interpersonal approaches • information meetings, problem solving • Electronic communication • e-mail, bulletin boards, video conferencing • Interpersonal network • discussion with people outside project team

  12. Product • Product objectives • Scope • Alternative solutions • Constraint tradeoffs

  13. Product Dimensions • Software scope • context • information objectives • function • performance • Problem decomposition • partitioning or problem elaboration • focus is on functionality to be delivered and the process used to deliver it

  14. Process Framework activities populated with • Tasks milestones • Work products • Quality Assurance points

  15. Framework Activities • Customer communication • Planning • Risk analysis • Engineering • Construction and release • Customer evaluation

  16. Process Considerations - 1 • Process model chosen must be appropriate for the: • customers • developers • characteristics of the product • project development environment • Project planning begins with melding the product and the process

  17. Process Considerations - 2 • Each function to be engineered must pass though the set of framework activities defined for a software organization • Work tasks may vary but the common process framework (CPF) is invariant (e.g. size does not matter) • Software engineer’s task is to estimate the resources required to move each function though the framework activities to produce each work product

  18. Project • 90/10 Rule 90% of the effort on project to accomplish 10% of the work • Planning • Monitoring • Controlling

  19. Managing the Project • Start on the right foot • Maintain momentum • Track progress • Make smart decisions • Conduct a postmortem analysis

  20. 5WHH Principle • Why is the system being developed? • What will be done and When? • Who is responsible for a function? • Where are they organizationally located? • How will the job be done technically and managerially? • How much of each resource is needed?

  21. Critical Practices • Formal risk management • Empirical cost and schedule estimation • Metric-based project management • Earned value tracking • Defect tracking against quality targets • People-aware program management
