Course Objectives: At the end of the course, the student shall be able to:
 To determine the importance of SPM from perspectives of planning, tracking and completion of project.
 To compare and differentiate organization structures and project structures.
 To manage project schedule, expenses and resources with the suitable application using SPM tools.

Course Outcomes: Upon the completion of the course students will be able to:
 Apply the process to be followed in the software development life-cycle models.
 Apply the concepts of project management & artifacts.
 Implement the project plans through managing people and change with respect to cost and schedule.
 Conduct activities necessary to successfully complete and close the Software projects.
 Implement Agile & DevOps practices in software development.

UNIT-I:
Conventional Software Management: The waterfall model, conventional software Management performance.
Evolution of Software Economics: Software Economics, pragmatic software cost estimation. Improving Software
Economics: Reducing Software product size, improving software processes, improving team effectiveness, improving
automation, Achieving required quality, peer inspections. The old way and the new: The principles of conventional
software Engineering, principles of modern software management, transitioning to an iterative process.

UNIT-II:
Life cycle phases: Engineering and production stages, inception, Elaboration, construction, transition phases. Artifacts
of the process: The artifact sets, Management artifacts, Engineering artifacts, programmatic artifacts.

UNIT- III:
Model based software architectures: A Management perspective and technical perspective. Work Flows of the
process: Software process workflows, Iteration workflows. Checkpoints of the process: Major mile stones, Minor
Milestones, Periodic status assessments. Iterative Process Planning: Work breakdown structures, planning guidelines,
cost and schedule estimating, Iteration planning process, Pragmatic planning.

UNIT- IV:
Project Organizations and Responsibilities: Line-of-Business Organizations, Project Organizations, evolution of
Organizations. Process Automation: Automation Building blocks, The Project Environment. Project Control and
Process instrumentation: The seven core Metrics, Management indicators, quality indicators, life cycle expectations,
pragmatic Software Metrics, Metrics automation.

UNIT-V:
Agile Methodology, ADAPTing to Scrum, Patterns for Adopting Scrum, Iterating towards Agility. Fundamentals of
DevOps: Architecture, Deployments, Orchestration, Need, Instance of applications, DevOps delivery pipeline, DevOps
eco system. DevOps adoption in projects: Technology aspects, Agiling capabilities, Tool stack implementation, People
aspect, processes
