Process-Oriented Model for Managing Software Development Projects Using the PRINCE2 Method

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the process-oriented model for software development using the PRINCE2 method, and it is divided into two primary parts. The first part offers a theoretical overview of project management, encompassing project definition, the definition and classification of project management, including the characteristics of both traditional and agile project management. Additionally, within this part, the process of software development and the key characteristics of PRINCE2 are presented, including the description of the processes defined by the mentioned method. The second part of the chapter is dedicated to integrating the software development process with the PRINCE2 processes. The constructed process-oriented model includes the nine phases with both the PRINCE2 processes and software development processes intertwined. Based on a critical review of the usefulness of the integration model, the advantages and disadvantages are presented. This well-structured model can significantly contribute to the successful management of software projects.
