Need for Software Project Management:


• Software is intangible and evolves rapidly, making it hard to manage
without structured planning.
• Most software is tailored to client-specific requirements, needing strong
control over scope, time, and cost.
• Rapid technological changes and lack of historical data increase the risk
of failure.
• SPM helps manage these risks and ensures delivery of high-quality
software that meets user expectations.

3. Types of Management in SPM:


1. Conflict Management:
Handles team disagreements to minimize disruptions and improve
collaboration. It enhances group performance when managed well.
2. Risk Management:
Identifies, analyzes, and mitigates potential risks (e.g., delays, budget
overruns). Helps ensure project stability and success.
3. Requirement Management:
Focuses on gathering, prioritizing, and tracking requirements to ensure
the software meets user needs and handles changes efficiently.
4. Change Management:
Manages the impact of changes in goals, technologies, or team
structure. It helps teams adapt and stay productive during transitions.
5. Software Configuration Management (SCM):
Controls software changes using tools like version control. Maintains
consistency, reduces confusion, and supports traceability.
6. Release Management:
Plans and controls the deployment of new software versions. Ensures
updates are delivered smoothly and meet user expectations.
