Aim: To present the concept regarding how the sotware projects are
planned, monitored and controlled.
Objective:
 To introduce the basic concepts regarding the software project.
 To give the students an idea about the concept of conventional
software project management and modern software project
management.
 To study the lifecycle phases and workflow of the software process.
 To train the students in the concepts of how the defects are analysis
and how we prevent such defects.
 To study the concept of software quality management.
 To familiarize the students with the ideas COCOMO cost estimation
model.
