Abstract-Software Project Management refers to managing a software project effectively as to have a clear understanding of what the software developers are trying to achieve. Software project management is ever changing, ever evolving and never ending process. Since the market demand for software product changes, new project management methodologies and techniques need to be implemented with rapid change in time and market demand. This paper discusses the result of a survey which is conducted in 10 small and medium software enterprises of India. The purpose of the survey is to get an idea about the type of leadership a project manager plays, how a software project manager manages a software project in terms of team management, communication management, risk management, quality management, time management and cost management, how a software project manager manages the communication between project members and clients and finally the output of a software project in terms of schedule and budget.

Abstract:Context: In recent years, companies have undergone a renewal of management strategies while searching for space in the market. The involvement of these companies in developing innovative software projects as a form of differentiation in products and services is common. Innovative projects are uncertain by nature, since the behaviour and evolution of the market and technological development may not be predicted. There is a natural relation between software projects that have an innovation degree and uncertainties. Objective: The aim of this paper is to discuss some aspects related to uncertainty management to understand the recommendations that positively influence project management in the face of uncertainties and the method of using the knowledge acquired during this study to provide strategic orientations that can be used by the industry to improve organizations' performance and their projects. Method: This study was built on evidence-based software engineering and provides subsidy for the need to address uncertainty in software projects in order to reduce the negative impacts caused by them. In this article, the interviews' results and focus group conducted with project managers and project management researchers are presented. The interviews and focus group aimed to assess the previous concepts as well as the new practical ones. Results: During the interviews, the concept of early signs was designed and associated with the management of software project uncertainties. In addition, project managers became aware of the mindfulness concept and its use for observing projects' uncertainties in order to ensure its success. Based on information collected from managers and literature review, a series of recommendations were drawn. Furthermore, the recommendations were evaluated by a focus group. Finally, a series of recommendations were designed in order to help the software project managers. Conclusion: This study contributes to software project management by developing recommendations to manage uncertainties.

Information Systems (IS) ecosystems change rapidly which makes IS projects’ success challenging. Project success eventually impacts organizational competitive advantage which is a major concern for telecommunication organizations. dynamic capabilities (DC) are needed for organizations to continually transfer, shift and reallocate their organizational capabilities according to the dynamic changes occur in the surrounding ecosystem. This paper aims at investigating the impact of organizational dynamic capabilities (DC) on IS project success in telecommunication organizations in Jordan. A survey is used as an instrument of research in order to achieve the research’s main objectives. The study is carried out by surveying (233) employees who participated in IS projects. The survey paragraphs are validated and approved by a panel of experts. Consequently, data extracted from the questionnaire is statistically analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and AMOS applications. The findings reveal that employees in telecommunication organizations recognize and apply the concept of DC (Dynamic Capabilities) at a (High) level. Results also show that rate of IS projects success in telecommunication organizations in Jordan is (High). It also shows that DC along with its four main dimensions, contribute in all three dimensions of IS project, and that project capabilities play a major role mediating the impact of DC on IS project success. The study has several contributions on both academic and practical levels. For example, it links DC for becoming basis for software projects success.
