Abstract:
Both software configuration management (SCM) and project management (PM) involve applying knowledge, skills, tools and techniques which support the development of software systems (SS). Developing an effective project management plan, which minimizes risks and restrictions inherent to the project, becomes more difficult as time goes on. Achieving an effective balance between the scope, timeframe, and costs associated with the project is also a complex task. This task is equally challenge for the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). SCM is a powerful tool for the administration and control of the life cycle of the SS, and it is linked to the process of quality assurance. This article presents the first results of an ongoing research whose purpose is to develop a framework which incorporates the methodological aspects of PM and SCM for SMEs. The first step for the design of this framework was to build a conceptual model that would be used as a systemic vision of the semantic basi
s to unify and support the relationships between these concepts.
