  WHAT IS SOFTWAREPROJECT PLANNING? Project Planning is the application of knowledge , skills ,tools and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements. It is accomplished through the application and integration of the project management processes of initiating , planning , executing , monitoring and controlling , and closing

  Objectives of ProjectPlanning • It defines the roles and responsibilities of the project management and team members • It ensures that the project management team works according to the business objectives • It checks the feasibility of the schedule and requirements • It determines project constraints

  Principles of SoftwareProject Planning • Planning is Necessary : Planning should be done before a project begins. For effective planning , objectives and schedules should be clear and understandable. • Risk Analysis : Before starting the project , senior management and the project management team should consider the risks that may effect the project. • Tracking of Project Plan : Once the project plan is prepared , it should be tracked and modified accordingly • Meet Quality Standards and Produce Quality Deliverables : The project plan should identify processes by which the project management team can ensure quality in software

  Activities in SoftwareProject Planning Project planning process comprises several activities, which are essential for carrying out a project systematically. These activities refer to the series of tasks performed over a period of time for developing the software. These activities include estimation of time , effort , and resources required and risks associated with the project.

  • Project Requirements:Before starting a project, it is essential to identify the project requirements as identification of project requirements helps in performing the activities in a systematic manner. These requirements comprise information such as project scope, data and functionality required in the software, and roles of the project management team members. • Cost Estimation: Along with the estimation of effort and time, it is necessary to estimate the cost that is to be incurred on a project. The cost estimation includes the cost of hardware, network connections, and the cost required for the maintenance of hardware components. In addition, cost is estimated for the individuals involved in the project. • Risks: Risks are unexpected events that have an adverse effect on the project. Software project involves several risks (like technical risks and business risks) that affect the project schedule and increase the cost of the project. Identifying risks before a project begins helps in understanding their probable extent of impact on the project.

  •  CriticalSuccess Factors: For making a project successful, critical success factors are followed. These factors refer to the conditions that ensure greater chances of success of a project. Generally, these factors include support from management, appropriate budget, appropriate schedule, and skilled software engineers. • Preparation of Project Charter: A project charter provides a brief description of the project scope, quality, time, cost, and resource constraints as described during project planning. It is prepared by the management for approval from the sponsor of the project. • Preparation of Project Plan: A project plan provides information about the resources that are available for the project, individuals involved in the project, and the schedule according to which the project is to be carried out. • Commencement of the Project: Once the project planning is complete and resources are assigned to team members, the software project commences. .
