Capturing Software Project Management Knowledge with PROMOL: Project Management Modeling Language.
Kadir Alpaslan Demir · Software Engineering Research and Practice · 2010
The reasons for software project failures are mostly project management related issues. Without analyzing these issues in failed projects or capturing the best practices in successful ones, repeating mistakes is inevitable. We developed a project management modeling language (PROMOL) that helps us to plan, understand, analyze and document management of software projects. PROMOL is a formal and visual modeling language. In this paper, we present an overview of PROMOL, provide a simple example and discuss how PROMOL can be used to analyze and capture functional and dysfunctional behavior in software projects.
