Software Project Management
It’s easy for a software development project to spiral out of control. As more teams and departments get involved in the process, you soon lose sight of the final goal. What you need is somebody who can pull everything together and point things in the right direction. That’s where we come in…
Common problems with software development projects
We’ve been providing software development project management services for a long time and the same problems crop up over and over again. If you’ve been part of a software development project before, you’ll recognise some of the following examples:
Lack of focus
Many software development projects are too vague about what the endgame is. This results in a lack of leadership, as nobody really knows what’s expected of them. Setting down clear goals for the development team is a key role for the project manager.
Vague metrics
It can be difficult measuring the success of a software development project as it often doesn’t add value until it’s completed. At Full Metal we help identify realistic metrics that can be used to focus the development team’s attention and demonstrate their achievements.
Lack of collaboration
Depending on the project, it will be more important to some departments than others. This can cause friction, as one team sees it as their top priority and another sees it as something they will get to when they’ve got time. We’ll help all members of your project team work together.
Lack of technical expertise
Software development is a tech-heavy business and not everyone in the project team will have that kind of knowhow. We help to break down the process in a way that makes it easier to follow for all team members.

Risk assessment
It’s important to know the risks of any project right from the beginning, so we can avoid them. We sit down with your team and go through the project in detail, helping us spot potential pitfalls before they occur.
Goal-setting
The easiest way to steer a project in the right direction is set clear, achievable goals for each member of the development team. Not only does this allow you to track a project’s progress, completing goals improves team morale.
Costs and resource
Your project manager will produce a cost assessment, based on these risks and goals and the project’s budget. This helps you better manage your resources, allocating them where they’ll be put to best use.
Optimisation
As the project evolves, we may need to tweak the original plan to make it more effective. This could involve changing goals, reallocating staff and resources, requesting additional funding, or something else entirely. Whatever it takes to keep your project on track.
