Five Project Management Processes During Software Programming

Like any living being, all software development company projects possess foreseeable steps (or stages) starting from generating some web application development idea and ending with the delivery of a successfully completed software product that complies with the requirements and quality issues. 

The Project Management Institute (PMI) defined five key software development processes in any project: initiating, planning, executing, controlling and closing. Each of these web application development processes has different goals, contains different tasks, and requires different web and mobile application development skills

The initiating custom programming process consists of choosing a software project for performing, determining the goals, defining key figures of the software project (customers, managers, workforce), determining the general amount of work for the team of web developers, negotiating and signing the contract and adopting certain ‘laws’ for the software project such as authority levels and ways of communication during software development.

The planning process involves identifying the work necessary for the fulfillment of the web development project, defining the required software developer resources, drawing a schedule, and working out the budget for the software project. Moreover, this stage presupposes communicating objectives to the software development team and defining the specific ways and means for their achievement as well as receiving the approval from the customers.
The project executing process deals with supervising and leading the project web and mobile application programming team to have the software project done according to the approved plan. During this stage the customer should be informed regularly about the progress in the application development.
The project controlling process concerns supervising the software project performed in terms of evaluating the progress, changing the course of software development in case of deviations from the plan or changes in the requirements. An IT project manager in any software development company should be ready for unexpected and unforeseeable delays, overspending, or changes and should have al least two alternatives for solving these problems. 

The final step is project closing process which involves mainly finishing the activity, finalizing the results, acceptance of the final software product by the customer. Also it’s necessary to analyze and discuss the software project done with your web and mobile application developers.

Any software project should be the next step in your success in providing software development services. You should gain web application development experience and custom programming skills from it.
