Word to SLIIT 3rd year Software Engineering students…

As SLIIT 3rd year student we put a major effort to our software engineering project. Software Engineering project (SEP) subject is very important to us because it gives us good experience that helpful us to work in the industry. Here are some dos and don’ts that we should follow to be success in software engineering project.

Do’s and Don’ts of project team management

Dos

1.       Gather right and clear requirements.

It’s very important to gather right and clear requirements of project at the beginning. We should have clear idea about the system that we going to be developed. The system what we plan to develop is should same as what client expects from us. If we understand the system in wrong manner, we will have to waste large amount of time to change what we already done.

2.       Gather right resources.

It's all about getting to know people, their well-known areas, and adding them into your reticulation for knowledge and experience. All the members of the group should have at least basic knowledge about the technology, language that you going to use in your project.

3.       Have a project plan

The project must have good plan to be success. Share the works in the project between members in group. Every member should have similar workload and it should enough and could be completed within duration of project. A plan gives the stakeholders and idea of how the project will play out as well as giving the team some structure and milestones for their deliverable.

4.       Work hard

Hard working is very important to complete the project within given time period. When you work hard on this project you get that experience to work in the industry as well as you can find time to do other subjects.

5.       Balance works of SEP and other subjects

You should able to balance all the works with software engineering project.

6.       Time management

As  university  students  who  are  dealing  with  other  subject  matters,  time management  probably  comes  naturally.  To really "do more with less, "you've got to become more productive. Keep a “to-do" list wherever you want, but make it work for you.  This can help you identify top priorities, eliminate time wasters, and get rid of wasteful processes.

1.       Not having regular meetings.

2.       Lack of meeting client and supervisor.

3.       Too shy to ask feedback.

4.       Take anything for granted regarding the project.
