Course Overview

Software project management is the art and science of planning and leading software projects.It is a sub-discipline of project management in which software projects are planned, implemented, monitored and controlled. To manage new development efforts, companies applied the established project management methods, but project schedules slipped during test runs, especially when confusion occurred in the gray zone between the user specifications and the delivered software. To be able to avoid these problems, software project management methods focused on matching user requirements to delivered products, in a method known now as the waterfall model.
