ANALYSIS OF SOFTWARE PROJECT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGIES

Abstract

In order to build a project, all project activities must be planned. Management involves activities like monitoring, planning, directing, staffing and organizing. The objective of this paper is to compare various methodologies and analyze them based on different aspects and to find which among them is the most significant or complete. New concepts and technologies are happening very rapidly and as a result, as the time progressed, the methods that were developed earlier seemed to be incomplete and did not fulfill the requirements of up–to-date technologies and hence new methods are being evolved. Most of them are based on old methods with some changes or additions and some might be new concepts. There are many techniques and tools available for developing software projects. Various factors like requirement, project size, team size, etc. are considered before choosing a method for developing software.
