The objective is to provide a framework to estimate resource, cost, and
schedule
Steps in software project planning:
– Scoping: understand the problem and the work that must be done
– Estimation: how much effort, time, and resource?
– Risk: What can go wrong? How can we avoid it? What can we do about
it?
– Schedule: How do we allocate resources along the timeline? What are
the milestones?
– Control strategy: How do we control strategy? How do we control
change?
