2. Aim: To present the concept regarding how the sotware projects are planned, monitored and controlled. Objective:  To introduce the basic concepts regarding the software project.  To give the students an idea about the concept of conventional software project management and modern software project management.  To study the lifecycle phases and workflow of the software process.  To train the students in the concepts of how the defects are analysis and how we prevent such defects.  To study the concept of software quality management.  To familiarize the students with the ideas COCOMO cost estimation model.
