According to Burrill and Ellsworth [1], Increased size, complexity, involvement of many areas, and the demand for quality will all generate an increased need for effective project This paper outlines a framework which project managers can employ to develop their own effective game plan for managing software projects. The framework has several ingredients. The first ingredient is about laying the foundation for tackling software projects. The second ingredient is a three-phased software project management lifecycle model assessment, planning, and control. The paper will discuss what the purpose, the tasks, and the outputs of each phase are, as well as the need for repeating the cycle. The third ingredient is the three project management work aspects process, product, and people management. Those aspects help managers to identify tasks which must be done in their own specific project. The paper will also illustrate how the work aspects can combine with the lifecycle model to a good effect. An example will be given to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed framework.
