Project Dimensions

Project dimensions include People, Product, Process, and Technology

(1) People: People management includes – Recruiting, Selection, Performance management, Training, Compensation, Career development, Work design, Team culture and Development

(2) Product: Before a project can be planned product objectives and scope should be established. Alternative solutions should be considered. Technical and management constraints should be identified. The software developer and customer must meet to define product objectives and scope. Scope identifies the primary data, functions and behaviors that characterize the product. Once the product objectives and scope are understood alternative solutions are considered.

(3) Process: A software process provides the framework from which a comprehensive plan for software development can be established. A number of different activities like tasks, milestones, work products and quality assurance points – enable the framework activities to be adapted to the characteristics of the software project and the requirements of the project team. Finally umbrella activities such as software quality assurance, software configuration management, and measurement are carried out during the process follow up.

(4) Technology: Analysis of presently available technology to implement the project. Assessing the risks associated with the implementation of the technology especially while implementing new technology. Adopting technology that would reduce the cost of the finally built product. Imparting training about using the technology for team members who are new to the technology. Upgrading the implemented technology from time to time.
