Unit 5: Software Project Planning

Quality Assurance Plan: It specifies the quality procedures and standards to be used. Notes
Software Development Plan: The central plan, which describes how the system will be developed.
Software Effort Estimation: It is a huge challenge, particularly as it is an area in which
miscalculations can result in delays, low quality software, or the loss of contracts.
Software Project Planning (SPP): This is the process begins with the planning initiation step.

Software Project Planning: It involves developing estimates for the work to be performed,
establishing the necessary commitments, and defining the plan to perform the work.

Software Project: It is developed through software processes in which common activities comprise
specification, design and implementation, validation and evolution

Validation Plan: It defines how a client will validate the system that has been developed.
1. Prepare a flow chart for implementation of COCOMO model.
