Software development can be complicated by issues as choice of feature sets, functionality/customer decisions, and product roadmaps. Resolving such issues can range from the simply tedious to the politically charged.
Software Project Managers must continually balance the needs of the marketplace and sales with technical skills and resources. This module recognizes the importance of managing the process within the software development organization.
Included in this module are the forms for entering customer needs/wants, as well as estimated development hours, release dates, project assignments, and feature/function categorization and rollup. To facilitate the selection of functionality for upcoming software versions and releases, routing spans from Project Managers to Marketing Facing to Architectural Review in order.
The workflow creates date-determined tasks to maintain development schedules. To manage the process, reports provide information on the number of functions currently being developed, on hold for future release/versions, or rejected.
