In The Application Of Broadband Access Product Development Project Management

As the development of broadband access company, DareGlobal Technologies Co., LTD’s products have been spread to lots of industries and the rate of industrial increment is growing rapidly. It’s amazing that the turnover of DareGlobal was only400Million RMB in2004, but it reached1.6Billion RMB in2010. With the development of broadband business, higher demands of customers appear. The software development becomes the key point to a project. However, early in broadband access area, all the attentions were paid on the hardware instead of the software. Software development was ignored although it is really the important part in the development life cycle in the changing time. It leaded to the project delaying, the cost wasting and the developer overtime working. To solve these problems, a new series of software development processes which software development will be combined hardware development closely are established in view of the feature of broadband access products development.From the point of software project management, combing with the feature of broadband access products development, current development approach used in Dareglobal is researched and analyzed in the paper. Dareglobal’s managers paying more attention on hardware development than the software development is found. As of now the software development has to completely depend on the experienced engineers. It’s obvious that there’s serious problem exist in current project management. So as to solve it effectively and change such situation that a software development process in view of the broadband access products is needed. And the related documents regarding the present situation are required to generate to establish the initialized broadband access products project management mechanism.Finally, in order to ensure the practical effect of this process in the broadband access products software projects, an actual project is practiced in Dareglobal. It is proved that the software development process developed in this paper enables broadband access products’ software development processes and hardware development processes close together. It also makes the goal of the development process more explicit, really effective to ensure broadband access products moving in the right time, quality, cost which are the ultimate goal steadily. In the progress of the project, the effective guidance is provided by the new development process. Not only the development time of the project is shortened, but also the working period is arranged reasonable. The reduction of the staff invested in the project is maximized, the cost of project development is saved, and the real economic benefits are brought to the company by using the software development process.
