Studies on Project Management Models for Embedded Software Development Projects

Abstract

In a corporation or the division of a corporation where software is being developed, it is becoming very important to develop software efficiently while guaranteeing the quality, limiting the cost, and maintaining the development schedule. Therefore, the corporation and the division of the corporation that develop software are implementing various improvement methods, including process improvement. In this study we have analyzed data from a software development project and studied how to determine which software development project will fail because it takes more manpower that originally estimated. In addition, we have implemented project-management support tools by combining the project-monitoring and managing tools that are already in use. We have also developed a new model that uses the statistical method, by reviewing the tools that are already used to estimate manpower for new projects
