Abstract

Developing a software product is a complex activity that involves many uncertainties. Software projects usually experience many modifications during their execution phases. These adjustments can be understood as reconfigurations in the schedule, in the resources allocation and other design elements. The large amount of information that the project manager must deal, combined with the frequent changes in the scope and planning, makes this activity more challenging. In addition, the manager may need to consult other departments in the organization during the execution of a software project. The distinction between the specific activities in a project with activities that take part in the organization’s common activity flow can be observed. In order to contribute to the solution of the noted difficulties, it was proposed a computational model called SPIM. In this sense, this article presents the results of an experimental study related to dynamic reconfiguration of software projects, with emphasis on the integration of project management with organizational flows. A software tool was built to demonstrate and evaluate the results.
