Because most software development life cycle models require similar activities that may be executed in different ways, the breakdown of topics is activity-based. That breakdown is shown in Figure 7.1. The elements of the top-level breakdown shown in that figure are the activities that are usually performed when a software development project is being managed, independent of the software development life cycle model (see Software Life Cycle Models in the Software Engineering Process KA) that has been chosen for a specific project. There is no intent in this breakdown to recommend a specific life cycle model. The breakdown implies only what happens and does not imply when, how, or how many times each activity occurs. The seven topics are:
• Initiation and Scope Definition, which deal with the decision to embark on a software engineering project;
• Software Project Planning, which addresses the activities undertaken to prepare for a successful software engineering project from the management perspective;
• Software Project Enactment, which deals with generally accepted software engineering management activities that occur during the execution of a software engineering project;
• Review and Evaluation, which deal with ensuring that technical, schedule, cost, and quality engineering activities are satisfactory;
• Closure, which addresses the activities accomplished to complete a project;
• Software Engineering Measurement, which deals with the effective development and implementation of measurement programs in software engineering organizations;
• Software Engineering Management Tools, which describes the selection and use of tools for managing a software engineering project.
