Software engineering projects

Software engineering project

Software engineering work is normally organized into projects. For a small software system, there may only be a single team of three or four developers working on the project. For a larger system, the work is usually subdivided into many smaller projects.

We can divide software projects into three major categories: 1) those that involve modifying an existing system; 2) those that involve starting to develop a system from scratch, and 3) those that involve building most of a new system from existing components, while developing new software only for missing details.
