A good project needs to start from firm foundations. Effort put in at this stage will reap big dividends.
The people working on the project are the only people that will make it a success or not.
project planning is a straightforward technical discipline, and there are good tools to help you do it.
Having made good plans, the project manager needs to monitor how the work is progressing against the plan. Only by keeping on top of the game, will you be able to spot and act when the plan is not working out as expected.
In all projects it is inevitable that something will go wrong. It’s a project managers skill to spot something going wrong early on, and to react to it in the right way.
In these sessions we guide you through the contemporary approach to planning software projects.
We start with discussing the realities that every development project faces, then detail the principles to apply when planning your projects. In the planning increments session we outline the process to follow and use a medium-sized project to give examples of the types of issues that you may face.
Very large scale projects produce their own problems which we will cover in the last session.

Having selected an appropriate process model, identified the software engineering tasks that have to be performed, estimated the amount of work and the number of people, know the deadline, and considered the risks.
Now it’s time to connect the dots. That is, to create a network of software engineering tasks that will enable the job to be done on time.
Once the network is created, assign responsibility for each task, make sure it gets done, and adapt the network as risks become reality.
In a nutshell, that’s software project scheduling and tracking.

Risk Management is an integral and essential part of Project Management which recognises the possibility that unexpected events may affect the intended objectives of a project or programme. The systematic identification and management of risks addresses this and, through analysis, provides a picture of the likelihood of project success.
The Risk Management process helps us to identify potential unacceptable cost increases, time delays or shortfalls in performance, and, by recognising what action can be taken to influence the causes and/or consequences of the risks, seeks to maintain the balance between customer expectations (the Demand) and the preferred solution (the Supply).
