Abstract
In this paper we propose a new software project development management model incorporating quality management to schedule management. Though many efficient techniques such as code review and inspection are used to remove defects, the effect of defect removal time on project schedule hasn't been studied much. However, poor quality management has an important effect upon overall schedule and sometimes software projects fails due to it. Thus, quality management and schedule management should be considered together and we need to reflect the time to maintain software quality into the schedule management. For the proposed model we introduced "Quality Value" representing the needed time to remove software defects. We assume PSP/TSP to gather the needed data for quality value. The proposed model can be used to predict the effect of software defects on schedule in advance and to prevent schedule lag.
