Talk:Software project management

message: I am working on rewriting and merging "Software project management" and "Project Management Software". Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated. My current plan is to merge both pages into "Project Management Software"; thoughts? PMDude (talk) 04:19, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

message: This page is really pitiful.
Any knowledgeable people want to attempt a rewrite?
I'm taking a slow careful stab at it. Are there any layout examples anyone wants to recommend? --

message: The last edit added a section on Open Source tools with no content... should this be removed? --HobbesLeviathan (talk) 01:41, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes it should because this topic shouldn't really be about specific tools, tool specific references should be on the specific topic pages Richlegge (talk) 16:58, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree that IEEE references should be minimized.  Software Project Management is not the same as the various pieces of software development. Richlegge (talk) 17:01, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move discussion in progress 

message: This article is quite old.  Should I edit this page and replace with modern content or write a new page/article. Richlegge (talk) 00:54, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You should not be adding inline external links (see WP:EL) or removing/commenting out parts of the article. MrOllie (talk) 01:38, 28 April 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Seems to be resistance to changes 

message: Since software development process has its own page, doesn't it make more sense to limit all the text related specifically to development in this page?  It would seem to better serve the community to leave all the software development topics to those numerous pages.
Software Project Management is not "a process".  A process is repetative, software project management is a unique activity for each project with a defined end, it is not "never ending" like a process is. Richlegge (talk) 15:53, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: We follow the reliable sources on this, not your personal thoughts. Also, please stop inserting references to the Project management institute into the lead of the article. Mentions of particular organizations are not what readers are looking for, particularly not in the opening section of the article, which is supposed to summarize this article - not provide links to other people's websites.

replies: text: Software development life cycle (SDLC) Software development proces exists as a seperate article in Wikipedia, so wouldn't it make better sense to remove the redundant text from this article and simply have an internal link to that page? Richlegge (talk) 19:01, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Software development process 

message: Why is the IEEE Life Cycle referenced here, wouldn't it more apporopriately belong to Software development process ?

replies: text: IEEE 16326 is on project management. This is the correct article. MrOllie (talk) 22:13, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
