Difference between software project management and other types of project management. Briefly explain project management life cycle.

 The differences between software project management and other types of project management are given below:-

1. Software projects are based on logical work, Other types of projects are based on physical work.

2. We can't measure the complexity of software projects, We actually work on other types of projects.

3. There is no fixed production plan, difficult to monitor and track., There is a fixed production plan that can be tracked.

4. Productivity varies greatly with changes in technology or worker., The Productivity does not vary much

5. Managing a software project is more about managing interpersonal communication and less administration ., It is more about maintaining a schedule and good administration.


The phases of the project management life cycle are explained below:-

  1. Project initiation
  2. Project planning
  3. Project execution
  4. Project monitoring and performance
  5. Project closure

1. Initiation Phases

This is where we can define what the project actually is we can outline our objectives in a project charter and identify any potential risks.

2. Project phase

In this phase, we list all the projects and all tasks in a detailed root map. And also estimate how long each one will take, create deadlines and add assignees.

3. Execution phases

In this phase, we put the plan into the action team. The team commences work on project tasks and aligns their schedule to achieve key deliveralbles.

4. Monitoring and controlling phase

In this phase, the project manager oversees progress by tracking team performance, creating reports, and re-adjusting priorities if necessary.


5. Closure phase

This is the final phase of the project management life cycle, which is also known as the "follow-up" phase. Around this time the final product is ready for delivery. In this stage, all the activities related to the project are wrapped up once the product is handed to the customer the document is finalized the project team is disbanded and the project is cloesd.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

Discuss classification or taxonomy of virtualization at different levels.

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?
