Evangelos Markopoulos, John-Chris Panayiotopoulos · Annual Conference on Computers · 2005
As projects become more software intensive, their management and implementation complexity increases. Managing software projects is actually managing complex projects. A software product or project is considered to be a brain product. Having to manage the way an individual or a team thinks towards delivering a project successfully requires more management capabilities than individual experience. Project management methodologies have been and keep on being developed for the same purpose, to run a project on time, budget, and quality. Unfortunately there are many dimensions on how success can be either conceived or obtained. This paper defines a number of facets and dimensions of project management implementation, by taking the project needs as a basis for determining the proper project management approach.
