Abstract

Numerous software development projects either do not live up to expectations or they fail outright. The scope, environment and implementation of software projects are changing due to globalisation, advances in computing technologies as well as the deployment of software projects in distributed, collaborative and virtual environments. As a result, traditional project management methods fail to address the added complexities found in this ever-changing environment. The authors proposed the software project management model, entitled SPMSA (Software Project Management Supported by Software Agents) that aims to enhance software project management by taking the unique nature and changing environment of software projects into account. The SPMSA model supports the entire spectrum of software project management functionality, supporting and enhancing each key function with a team of software agents. In this paper the authors adapt the SPMSA model to incorporate PMBOK2004 guidelines. The SPMSA model makes a fresh contribution to enhance software project management by utilising software agent technology.
