“…Because of that, the scope of software engineering has not been limited to technical activities of software development such as analysis, design, coding, and testing software. In fact, it also covers administrative tasks that can only be successfully completed through an efficient project planning strategy that can ultimately help meet all customer requirements [22]. Thus, an essential part of any project planning strategy should consider both, time estimation and time management as two of the most important factors in any software development project [24].…”

“…However, for new software projects the complexity of time estimation increases and other models would have to be considered to come up with such important information [7,25,26]. In any case, a successful project management strategy depends on how well the various software development and project management activities are organized and coordinated [22]. Among the various activities that play a major role in time planning and management activities, the development methodology used to build the software has been identified as one of the most important factors.…”

Time and risk management have always been major concerns in a continously growing number of processes and methodologies used to develop all kinds of useful products and services. Software like any other industry not only needs the most appropriate development methodology but also an efficient project management strategy that is capable of estimating and managing development times and any potential risks as best as possible in order to deliver high quality software products and services on time. Hence, the success or failure of software development projects depends on the efficiency by which several key factors such as cost, time, and risks are managed and how other software development factors influenced them. This paper presents an exploratory factor analysis to study the effects produced primarily on time planning caused by common factors observed in outsourced software development projects such as communication, teamwork, personnel training, among others. In our work, we also build a structural model in which we analyze the relationships between sets of dependent and independent variables derived from the responses of a survey applied to 32 Mexican organizations that subcontracted their software development projects to outsourcing providers. The results are presented and the reliability of our model was validated using the SmartPLS software.

Software product management has gained much attention in recent years for its positive influence on corporate success in software companies. However, despite its relevance and positive influence there is only little and vague guidance concerning software product management. There is no extensive body of knowledge as in Software Engineering or Project Management. The work presented in this paper aims at developing an adequate and precise conceptual representation of the software product management domain by means of creating a domain ontology. It defines domain-specific knowledge on a more fundamental level. The developed ontology captures basic aspects of the software product management domain and represents a reasonable approach to provide a common conceptual understanding of the domain.

“…A software product is a bundle of software functions accessible through a single interface and a software project can be defined as a release of a software product or a part of a software product [26,27]. Haines [19] has defined software products and projects as follows "Products represents the essence of business, how it thrives, grows and brings revenue to the firm.…”

The selection of a software development life cycle (SDLC) model for a software project is highly dependent upon the characteristics of the software product to be developed. We classified software products according to characteristics that matter for SDLC selection. We surveyed literature to elicit recommendations for SDLC selection. We formalized our findings to present a rule based recommendation system that can be helpful to software developers in selecting the most appropriate SDLC model to be used for the development of a software product. We conducted an initial evaluation of our system. We believe our SDLC recommendation system provides useful hints for selecting an SDLC, and provides a base for validating and refining SDLC recommendation rules.
