Trends and Applications in Software Engineering

Software development involves a unique effort that comprises managing many activities, resources, skills, and people to build a quality product. Thus, this effort is frequently seen from two different perspectives: the software development perspective and the project management perspective. Nowadays, any software enterprise that aims to develop high quality products should perform an adequate combination of both perspectives. However, such integration is generally not well addressed by the small-sized software enterprises due to the lack of knowledge, resources and time. In this sense, this paper introduces a metamodel to define a “lite” version of the project management process and to manage the generated knowledge during the software development.
