Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Model of Software Project Management Dynamics This paper is a study of the dynamics of software project management. In Section (I) we argue for the attractiveness of using computer modeling techniques in the study and design of complex social systems. In particular, we advocate the use of the modeling, simulation, and analysis techniques of System Dynamics. In Section (II) we, then, present a System Dynamics model we developed for software project management. The model's three major subsystems: the human resource management subsystem, the planning and control subsystem, and the software production subsystem, are discussed in some detail. Finally, in Section (III), the dynamic behavior of the model is analyzed using a series of simulation runs.
