Effective management of a project is a crucial issue to software companies. There are various international standards, such as CMM, ISO9000, and SPICE, applied to project management. But, small scale companies have some difficulties in accepting those standards because of its complexity and enormous manpower requirements. This study proposes a project management approach streamlining the CMM by which a small scale software company can perform the tasks with ease. A prototype system has also been developed to show the capability of the proposed model.

The uncertainty of software projects makes a big gap between the initial schedule/expense and the final one. Moreover, it is difficult for a project manager to reschedule and re-budget for reflecting the effects of changes in the software development. In this paper, we suggest EVM (Earned Value Management) to control the schedule and the expenses of an on-going software development project. In order to apply EVM to a software project, we consider turnkey contracts and propose the way to calculate the earned value for the software development. Finally, we illustrate our method with the case of N-company. We expect our EVM help to analyze and to predict the final schedule and the expense of a software development project.

Most software projects inevitably involve various types and degrees of uncertainty. Without proper risk assessment and coordination, software projects can easily run out of control and consume significant additional resource. Thus, risk management techniques are critical issues to information system researchers. Previous empirical studies of U.S. software firms support the adoption of development standardization and user requirement analysis techniques in risk-based software project management. Using data collected from software projects developed in Korea during 1999-2000, we conduct a comparative study to determine how risk management strategies impact software product and process performance in countries with dissimilar IT capabilities. In addition, we offer an alternative conceptualization of residual performance risk. We show that the use of residual performance risk as an intervening variable is inappropriate in IT developing countries like Korea where the role of late stage risk control remedies are critical. A revised model is proposed that generates more reliable empirical implications for Korean software projects.

소프트웨어 프로젝트 데이터를 이용한 각종 분석 예측 모델 생성시 직면하는 문제 중 하나는 데이터에 포함된 결측값이며 이에 대한 효과적인 방안은 결측값 대치 법이다. 대표적인 결측값 대치법인 K 최근접 이웃 대치법은 대치과정에서 결측값을 포함하는 인스턴스의 관측정보를 활용하지 못한다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 K 최근접 이웃 대치법과 최대 우도 추정법을 결합한 새로운 소프트웨어 프로젝트 수치 데이터용 결측값 대치법을 제안한다. 또한 결측값 대치법의 정확도를 비교하기 위한 새로운 측도를 함께 제안한다.

Cost overrun or schedule delay of the software development project happens frequently despite that software developers continue to make every effort for the effective management of the projects. Previous researches have ascertained that these problems are ascribed to the uncertainty of projects and the improper management of the projects. The purposes of this research are to investigate the impacts of user participation and task interdependence on the performance of the projects and also to find out the appropriate project management method to improve the project performance. Even though the model fitness of the path model is proved to be very high, the verification of the hypotheses showed a variety of results including the four verifications and the one refutation of the hypotheses as well as the suggestion of one alternative hypothesis. The contribution of this research is that the integration model is proposed and verified, comprising the relationship among the user participation, the task interdependence, and the performance of software development projects. A project manager can utilize the implication of this research for an effective management of software development project.

Most of the software development projects bear risks that need analysis and management. Risk management plays a critical role for the success of software project management. In this study, we have used delphi method to delineate critical risk factors. The study pulls out 20 project risk factors from 21 project managers. It is certainly clear that certain features are more risky than others. Our study shows that unrealistic cost estimation and changes in scope and objective are more risky than other features.

Identifying risk factors in software risk management is imperative for project managers. The purpose of this paper is to provide software project risk factors validated by statistical analysis, and thus to help project managers alleviating the possibility of software project failure. Factor analysis with data collected from 264 Korean project managers and consultants identified 12 categories and 46 risk factors. T-test results showed that project managers and participants had statistically different perception on 3 risk factors among those 46 risk factors. We concluded by discussing implications of our findings and future research directions.

In this paper, we propose an efficient repository model for online software education. The software education of app development consists of 7 stages: coding & debugging, submit, collaboration, review, validate, deployment, certification. Proposed repository model supports all 7 stages efficiently. In the coding & debugging stage, the students repeat coding and debugging of source. In the submit stage, the output of previous process such as source codes, project, and videos, are uploaded to repository server. In the collaboration stage, other students or experts can optimize or upgrade version of source code, project, and videos stored in the repository. In the review stage, mentors can review and send feedbacks to students. In the validate stage, the specialists validate the source code, project, and the videos. In the deployment stage, the verified source code, project, and videos are deployed. In the certification stage, the source code, project, and the videos are evaluated to issue the certificate.

Various artifacts that are produced as software R&D project progresses contain research plan, research report, software requirements and design descriptions, etc. When conducting a software R&D project, it is necessary to confirm that the developed system has implemented its research requirements well. However, various research results make it difficult to design appropriate tests. So, there is a practical need for us to comprehensively handle the planning, execution, and reporting of software test for finding and verifying information related to the research. In this paper, we propose a useful method for software test process in R&D project which supports model based software testing. The proposed method supports automation of test design and generation of test data by explicitly separating each step of System Under Test (SUT). The method utilizes the various models representing the control flow of the function to extract the information necessary for testing the system. And it supports a systematic testing process based on TMMi and ISO 29119. Finally, we show the validity of the method by implementing a prototype with basic functionality to generate test data from software behavioral models.

국내의 정보화 프로젝트 개발 소프트웨어가 대형화되고 복잡화됨에 따라 개발 업체의 소프트웨어 프로젝트 품질이 매우 중요해지고 있다. 프로젝트 품질 평가 심사 모형인 CMM 등으로 개발 사업자의 프로젝트 수행능력이 평가되고 있다. 따라서 개발 사업자들은 CMM 등급 인증획득 또는 등급을 올리기 위한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 그러나 인증의 신뢰성에 대하여 논란이 되고 있는 시점에서 프로젝트 품질 인증의 제도가 프로젝트 품질에 차이를 나타내는지에 대한 연구와 CMM등급 인증과 기업 문화의 적합이 프로젝트 품질 성과에 차이를 나타내는지에 대하여 연구를 수행하였다. 연구 결과, CMM인증 등급이 높고 기업문화의 개방성이 높은 조직이 프로젝트 품질 성과가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 프로젝트 품질 성과를 높이기 위해서는 CMM인증 등급도 중요하지만 품질을 위한 기업 문화의 개방성을 높여나가는 것이 매우 중요한 것으로 나타났다.
