COURSE OBJECTIVE:
The student should be made to:
Understand the phases in a software project and apply stepwise project planning
Understand fundamental concepts of Project Evaluation.
Understand the activity planning of software project.
Learn various methods of project monitoring and controls, team work
COURSE OUTCOME:
At the end of the course, the student should be able to
Identify the key activities in managing stepwise project planning
Learned different project evaluation methods and criteria
Learned different activity planning to solve the critical path of software projects.
Apply different methods of project monitoring and controls mechanism.
Part- A
7) What is planning?
It is an act of formulating a program for a definite course of action the planning
was more fun than the trip itself. Planning in short in defined as deciding what is to be
done.
8) What is project execution?
This is the final stage of project, which meant to put the built system to work or
operate under suitable environment.
9) List different stages of project life cycle?
The Stages in Project Life Cycle are:
Requirements Analysis,
Specification,
Design,
Coding,
Verification and Validation,
Implementation/Installation,
Maintenance and Support.
10) What is strategic planning?
Strategic planning is an organizations process of defining its strategy, or duration,
and making decisions on allocating its resources to pressure this strategy, including its
capital and people. It is the process of identifying an organizations long term goals and
objectives and then determining the best approach for achieving those goals and
objectives.
11) What is Requirements Analysis?
Requirement analysis is defined as finding out in detail what the users require of
the system that the project is to implement.
12) What is requirement specification?
Detailed documentation of what the proposed system is to do is called
requirements specification.
13) What is Design?
Design is the diagrammatic representation of project which we going to do. Design
is the planning that lays the basis for the making of every object or system.
