Abstract
A project can be defined as a plan or proposal; a scheme or an undertaking requiring concerted effort.
software's are the programs, routines, and symbolic languages that control the functioning of the hardware and direct its operation. They are instructions for the computer. A series of instructions that performs a particular task is called a" program." The two major categories of software are "system software" and" application software." System software is made up of control programs such as the operating system and database management system (DBMS). Application software is any program that processes data for the user (inventory, payroll, spreadsheet, word processor, etc.). A common misconception is that software is data. It is not. software tells the hardware how to process the data.
software can also be defined as written programs or procedures or rules and associated documentation pertaining to the operation of a computer system and that are stored in read/write memory.
Unlike a building, software can't be seen, touched, felt or visualized and it's hard for the layman to get a conceptual grip of its size or cost or how long it might take to build.
Hence software projects can be defined as an undertaking to develop computer programs routines, and symbolic languages that control the functioning of the hardware and direct its operation.
software creation requires concerted effort from the software development teams. A software project team ideally consists of a team leader, software developers and software testers.
However for a software project to be successful it is essential that the project is completed on time and on budget, with all features and functions originally specified. There are a couple of metrics for project success/failure. Some are binary, some are quantitative, and some are qualitative. Many may be influenced by outside factors.
