INTRODUCTION
By combining project management pitfalls with software development obstacles and other challenges, entrepreneurs create a recipe for large problems for their companies. However, these issues are assuredly preventable.
When it comes to software development and project management, there is no exact science. Nevertheless, when software development issues emerge, it can be disastrous.
There are a wide range of different mistakes made by project management while working on software development.
Some of the major mistakes are not purely related to software development projects, but they can be highly damaging to those projects.
ISSUES AND MISTAKES PLAGUING SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
One of the primary mistakes management will make in these situations is that when new software is being created and a problem arises, they will add additional people to working on the job, i.e., fixing the problem.
By those so, there is a certain amount of friction that is added and created by each person. It adds more to the overall project. The new personnel coming must have time to acclimate themselves to the project, i.e., get up to speed, so they can coordinate their work with the personnel who have been working on the project the longest. In turn, the personnel who have been involved with the project say from the beginning don’t necessarily want to have to stop and teach the newcomers all about the project unless they are instructed to do so. It tends to feel like a setback to them in building new code or dedicating more time to finding a fix to the problem themselves. Hence, the friction is generated.
Moreover, adding more people to your software development team can also significantly slow down your work rather than speeding it up which is the main reason for adding more people to the team. This slowing down of the work is especially true during those initial months of working on the project.
Adding more people onto the board also causes issues as there are some software development tasks which cannot be split up and be done on time by all people working on the team at once. These common tasks, in fact, must be done step by step, taking one task, solving it and moving onto the following task.
With this problem of software development projects and teams, you see that adding more people who are working on the different tasks requires a lot of coordination for it to work out smoothly and operate at a good pace.
By adding more people, more time is needed for them to get to know the project, to coordinate with other people, so instead of speeding up the overall project, you slow it down significantly which once again leads to other software development issues.
Besides this issue when project managers add more and more people to work on the board, other issues emerge when project managers use the wrong metrics.
Project managers need different metrics for several reasons. One of the main reasons for using the metrics is to measure the overall success of the project, to review performance feedback of the projects, to perform accurate analysis of the projects and many other.
Using wrong metrics in addition to the previously mentioned issue is one of the most common problems project managers find themselves
