Our project management team follows SDLC in our software development projects. We understand the SDLC process are different across teams but common processes and the end goals are same. We work very closely with the team to deliver the project successfully and on time.
Why Software differs from other types of projects in several ways.
- Complexity. All projects are complex, but software development is for a different reason — it’s based on logical, not physical work. This necessitates a high degree of communication between project team members.
- Intangibility. You can’t touch or see a software project like you can a traditional project such as a bridge or building, either during the project or after it’s completed. Customers may be more anxious about project progress, and it can be harder for them to understand it.
- Uncertainty. Defining software requirements can be more challenging than defining requirements for other projects that may be subject to the laws of physics — again, like a building or bridge
- Costs. Traditional projects involve more materials costs. Software projects incur much more in labor costs, given the nature of software.
- Industry changes. Software is a young industry in the grand scheme of things, and it’s fast-paced. New technologies emerge rapidly, rendering other technologies — or even your own project — obsolete.
Such differences make a smooth project management process vital to your software project’s success — and project management software can help with that.
