| Success of a software development project means that the project team delivers a usable,maintainable and reliable software system under the conditions of the scheduled time limit and reasonable cost budget.For a long time,industry and academia have focused on solving the technical problems of software development projects,the quality problems of software products and the training of technical personnel,and little research has been done on the cost management of software projects.With the rapid development of information technology industry,on the one hand,due to the maturity of technical conditions and the expansion of production scale,the cost of computer hardware decreases year by year,and the proportion of software cost in computer system becomes prominent;on the other hand,because software belongs to knowledge-intensive industry,its cost increases with the rise of human resource cost and the increasing complexity of software products.It is bound to rise.Therefore,the research significance of software project cost management has attracted the attention of industry and academia.Software development projects are different from traditional industrial products.First,the results delivered by software development projects are invisible,and it is difficult to evaluate their work progress and product quality.Secondly,software development process is a process of knowledge creation,which requires very little material resources,mainly the input of human resources,because it is difficult to accurately estimate the workload leading to the estimation of human costs.Control is one of the difficulties in project management.Finally,software development projects are affected by many factors and are very uncertain.Therefore,the cost control of software development projects can not simply apply the traditional cost control methods.S company mainly provides customers with customized services of various application software.By inserting software tools into the workflow of customers,S company can help customers effectively improve work efficiency and save operating costs.Customized software projects are generally divided into new development projects and secondary development projects.Aiming at the new development project of S company's customized software,this paper analyses the problems and reasons of S company's software development project cost control,combines the relevant cost control theory and the specific situation of S company,puts forward improvement measures for the cost control of S company's software development project,and implements it on a specific project of S company,and achieves good results.It is hoped that it will be of reference value to the cost control of small and medium-sized software enterprises. |
