What are the characteristics of software projects? What is project management?

Characteristics of (1) software project

Software products are different from those of any other industry. They are invisible and have no physical properties at all. Such an invisible and intangible product is difficult to understand and control. But it does integrate ideas, concepts, algorithms, processes, organization, efficiency and optimization. Therefore, to develop such products, many times users can't give clear ideas and exact needs at the beginning. He doesn't know what he really needs. During the development process, programs and related documents often need to be modified. New problems may appear in the process of revision, and these problems are likely to be discovered after a long time. The workload of document preparation occupies a large proportion in the whole project development process. But in practice, people are not interested in it. They think it is hard work that has to be done, and they don't want to do it seriously. Thus directly affecting the quality of software. Software development is highly technical, which requires participants to have a certain technical level and practical work experience. But in fact, the flow of people has a great influence on work. Employees who leave their jobs not only take away important information, but also take away their work experience.

(2) What is project management?

The so-called project management means that the project manager effectively manages all the work involved in the project by using systematic viewpoints, methods and theories under the constraint of limited resources. That is, from the beginning to the end of the project, from the establishment, start-up, planning, monitoring and end of the project.
