Jennifer Bridges, PMP, explains the core differences between software project management and standard forms of project management.
She looks at the four key project deliverables associated with software project management, including:
1) Process Methodology (which can vary depending on the type of software being developed)
2) Resources (specifically “software developers”)
3) Constraints and Risks
4) Quality of Metrics (measuring the defects involved in software projects)

Worthless presentation. What a waste of time.
Pointless barrage of buzzwords; no actionable inputs. Save your 4 minutes; you can thank me later.
Tepid analysis. The biggest factor that determines project management style is task certainty. The more task certainty, the more proactive your management style can be, and (because output is a good measure of effort/competence alone, rather than effort/competence and luck) the more distantly one can manage a project. The less certain a collection of tasks, the more of a reactive (Hah! I said it and I'm GLAAAAAD! GLAAAD DO YOU HEAR ME!!! GLAAAAD I TELLLL YOUUUUU!) component has to be in your strategy. Also, the more you have to have technical people judging the work closely to discern effort/competence from bad circumstances.
In software, the most uncertain projects are those that depend on emergent behavior. That is, you specify A, B, and C, with the expectation that a certain kind of behavior will emerge. So QA must determine that A, B, and C are accomplished, and also that the expected behavior has resulted. Sometimes the only way to know if it does result is to sew the monster together. Sometimes you just have to pull it off the slab after it opens its eyes, and spend extra time teaching it to dance.
Here, the dichotomy is, 1) Did the analyst specify a simple report, where all of the work is in the functional specification; or 2) Did the analyst specify a time machine, where all the work is in the implementation? Watch out for the second kind!
Million Dollar Potential in Ruvol
I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that is guaranteed to be far more challenging and exciting than CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”
Over time, Ruvol will surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”
Why am I so sure about this? Because I am an avid chess player myself.
The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.
HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED?
Ruvol is played somewhat like chess. It is played by two players. It uses a board that is rectangular in shape but containing more number of squares than chess. It has equal number of pieces on each side of the board, where each type of piece moves in distinct ways. However, if the way to win chess is to checkmate the opponent’s king, the way to win Ruvol is to be able to cross a designated line.
But there’s one big advantage Ruvol has over chess: The Ruvol pieces are randomly placed at the start of “every game” which makes it impossible for any clever player to memorize the moves.
A MILLION DOLLAR POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!
The people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. These 800 million players comprise the “Total Potential Buyers” of Ruvol across the globe. At an average profit of just US$3 per set, the “Global Income Potential” of Ruvol then is US$2.4 billion. Assuming only 1% of it will buy each year, the annual global potential sale of Ruvol is US$24M.
I AM LOOKING FOR AN INVESTOR!
For the reason that I don’t have the resources to publish Ruvol on a global scale, you might be interested to “FINANCE THE PUBLISHING” of my Ruvol on a profit-sharing arrangement. Or better yet, just “BUY MY COPYRIGHT” and Ruvol is entirely yours. If interested, email me at: rodolfovitangcol@gmail.com.
Thanks and God bless!

I have question
Sending a robot vehicle on Mars to search for signs of life is a project or not?
Nice work
Nice explanations, thank you
nice
Eye catching video
Junk presentation. It sounds like it's the first time she talks about a software project. I've never seen a shop that doesn't track bugs and defects.
nice work
