Project Management

Effective project management coordinates resources, tasks, and people to meet specific goals within set constraints.

Key Personnel

Project Manager

Responsible for the day-to-day management of the project. They handle planning, scheduling, budgeting, and resource allocation to ensure the project stays on track.

Systems Analyst

Analyzes user requirements and models business processes. They serve as the bridge between the business stakeholders and the technical team.

Programmer

Develops the system by writing and maintaining the software code based on technical specifications and design architectures.

Development Constraints

Commonly known as the Iron Triangle, these three factors are interconnected—changing one inevitably impacts the others.

1. User Needs: The primary driver. Success is defined by how well the system meets functional (tasks) and non-functional (performance) requirements.
2. Time: Deadlines and milestones. Rushed delivery can lead to "technical debt," which significantly increases long-term maintenance costs.
3. Cost: Financial resources. This includes developer salaries, hardware, and ongoing support, which often accounts for 70-80% of total lifecycle expenses.
