Abstract: Project Management discusses project management and control. The client’s accountant will use discounted cash flow to value a project. This puts pressure on the project manager to deliver useful software as early as possible. In addition, if a project involves risk, its expected value is reduced, and it may be uncertain whether the project will have a positive present value. Therefore a preliminary technical feasibility study is sometimes needed to reduce such uncertainty. Using critical path analysis as a tool, the project manager must find a development structure that allows the regular delivery of products to the client while suiting the capabilities and motivations of their implementors — concerning which it discusses achievement motivation and management by objectives. The chapter culminates by describing how the various tools discussed in earlier chapters can be put together as a successful methodology for system development.
