Project Managment
Project vs research
Projects and operations differ primarily in that operations are ongoing and
repetitive, while projects are temporary and unique.
The purpose of a project is to attain its objective and then terminate.
Conversely, the objective of an ongoing operation is to sustain the business.
Is tere similarities?
Both are:-
Performed by people
Constrained by limited resources
Planned, executed, and controlled.
one more?
The level of uncertainty is highest and, hence, risk of failing to achieve the
objectives is greatest at the start of the project.
The certainty of completion generally gets progressively better as the project
continues.
Cost and staffing levels are low at the start, peak during the intermediate
phases, and drop rapidly as the project draws to a conclusion.
Is there differences between PDLC and SDLC?
PDLC
it is a process that is responsible for bringing to market a new product and
generally includes the business units.
It is, therefore, the process of developing a product.
SDLC
is used for developing particular software products.
is primarily aimed at solving a specific software problem that may arise.
That is, it points to specific steps within the PDLC.
We may also say that SDLC is a subset of PDLC. Such steps are the
responsibility of a technical department within an organization.
Note:-If the project that we develop is specific one we may follow just SDLC
phases. because designing a system also consider as a project.

It makes proper planning and scheduling of organizational resources.

Delphi cost estimation
Expert Judgment
Here an expert guess about problem size after analyzing the problem.
Usually expert estimates the cost of modules of each subsystem to get the
overall estimation of system.
Problem:-personal bias and interference.
Estimation Steps:-
1 Determine size of the product(KLOC).
2 From the size estimate, determine the effort needed.
3 From the effort estimate, determine project duration, and cost.
Step-1 and 2 :- after identifying tasks the project manager break down this
large task into smaller activities by using a work breakdown structure.
