Efficiency Criteria in Software Project Management

The modeling and development cycle of a software project is presented. Each phase of the modeling and development cycle is detailed. The activities and involved actors are identified for each phase. Software project management notions are presented. Potential risks pertaining to the software project are identified. The risks affecting the software projects are classified and each risk category is detailed. Risk avoidance and reduction strategies are identified for the identified risks. A new method is presented that defines the global efficiency for a project based on the efficiency defined for each type of actor. Global efficiency is defined for modeling information systems.
