The IT sector along with other sectors outsource projects to third parties in different remote locations. An approached used by the IT is creating virtual teams. 2 The reasons behind this is most software industries outsource due to low cost, and the advancement of communication via email, phone conferences, and internet. In the 1990s, the trend was to outsource software developers from Ireland, Israel, and India. The trend continues to increase, and this has had a significant impact on project managers and on the delivery of projects. Outsourcing has proven to cause complexity in information development since there is a difficulty or a lack of understanding requirements. The compacted way of seeing this is in reality there has been cultural

For sixty years, cost estimation has been a hurdle, yet it is one key aspect of software project management. 12 The reason why software projects are hard to estimate is due to three reasons. Various projects are very large including manifold stakeholders have a lot of time discrepancy and change which can be estimated improperly. Second, software is observed as design rather than production. This means that sub-tasks (WBS) are not repetitive. Thirdly, estimates are obligatory at the start of the project when there is not much information or requirements attributed. These three reasons lead to under-estimating which leads to a drop in cost-benefit or …show more content…
Critical Path Analysis: three point estimates probability distributions Figure 4 is an example of a 3-point estimate. As seen, it’s a triangular probability distribution, the shaded area is where the actual effort failure will fall if the distribution is correctly estimated. Estimation can be studied between the intervals of the worst and best case.
Risk -Management Plan Every project has a section detailed for risks. As a project grows, the development intensifies so does the quantity of risks. 13Risks happen during unplanned events and effects the project in a variety of ways. Evaluations have shown project managers seldom work out on a risk management process. The process for a risk management process consist of identifying the risk, analyzing, prioritizing the project, risk-management planning, explanation and observing. 13 Other risks that relate are unrealistic budgets, schedules, incorrect reporting, communication and
