Summarize the most important challenges in SW development project and how…

- - - - Estimation and scheduling can be improved using developer based estimates and estimation softwares.making the estimation process a series of iterative refinements, with estimates presented in ranges that continually narrow as the project progresses over time("cone of uncertainity").
      - timeboxing approach As an alternative to fixing scope where the schedule is divided into a number of seperate time periods ,with each part having its own deliverables,deadline and budget.
      - A project management office to maintain a repository of project data over time helps poor estimation as well as ineffective stakeholder management.Performing retrospectives(postmortem)of a failed project helps avoiding mistakes in future projects.use of a stakeholder worksheet and assessment graph to properly assess the stakeholder requirements.
      - Using a prioritized risk assessment table,actively managing a top 10 risks list and conducting interim retrospectives.Appointing a risk officer also helps risk management.
      - Agile development.automated testing tools, and daily build-and-smoke tests producing time savings.
  - - - No effective time management. If time is not managed properly then there's higher chance of not being able to complete the project within the deadline. So project manager might bring new people which affects the project. Hence it can be avoided by the manager by not adding people at the last stage
      - Unskilled and noneffective team , manage it by building effective team
      - No post project reviews. Post project reviews are necessary to know the different reasons the project failed or couldn't be completed on time. So reviews should be conducted which also helps future projects to use them as reference.
      - Lack of risk management and we can overcome it by identifying, planning and avoiding risk.
      - Use of immature and new technology. With technology changing fast and promising new capabilities, the use of new technology has emerged as one of the causes for software failure. So, its better to use the stable and mature technology to minimize the rate of software failure.
      - Complexity can also be one of the causes of Software Failure. When a large code is written, the software becomes complex and writing such a large code without testing is dangerous. So while writing the code, the code should be checked frequently
      - Lack of proper communication with the stake holders. Can be avoided by effectively managing the stake holders through worksheets and assessment graphs so that we can know their interest level and have their support.
- - - - Knows business goal
      - Knows capabilities of a team
      - Knows business requirements
      - Knows budget
- - - - Project manager's skills.
      - The factors and how to control.
      - Size of the company
- - - - scheduling, planning and quality of service
        
        8.The project that there is no motivation in it, this will probably has a larger effect on productivity and quality than any other factor.
        
        Individual capabilities of the team members, Team will have great effect on the result of project effectiveness.
      - time management and budget are most important
