When looking for a quality
project management tool for software development, choose a company that is
dedicated to producing progressive tools that adjust well to industry changes.
Here are some of the most common processes and features that you should look
for in a software development project
management tool:
- Risk Management – This is the process of assessing and measuring risks so that strategies can be formulated to manage them. Generally, these strategies aim to transfer risks to a different party, reduce the negative effect of the impending risk, avoiding the risk altogether, or accepting the consequences of the risk. Risk management often includes cost-benefit analysis and fall back options should the project fail (such as a contingency plan).
- Requirements Management – Unlike risk management requirements management is the process of determining, eliciting, analyzing, documenting, prioritizing, and deciding upon requirements and controlling change so that they can be communicated to stakeholders. This is an important aspect of software engineering, where business analysts can identify the altered needs as well as the requirements of the clients so they can modify solutions.
- Change Management – This involves change impact analysis and is closely related to requirements management the result of which can help software developers redesign and approve solutions.
- Software Configuration Management – This part of software development management involves identifying and documenting the scope of the project, considering all sub products so that they can be effectively communicated to stakeholders. This may include version control, programming (naming convention, software archival agreements, and other significant processes.
