Overview: Software professionals have made technological advances, created new tools, followed a process improvement plan, utilized benchmarking, developed measurement programs, and performed Rapid Application Development (RAD). Project management, however, is still not done well. Reasons for this include poor estimation techniques, lack of historical data, weak management commitment, inadequate or nonexistent processes, planning being done in a vacuum, the project plan and other plans not being synchronized, lack of effective software testing, and replanning rarely done, even if crucial factors change. This paper surveys many of the important issues that project managers face while managing software projects in such a dynamic environment.
