Software project management is the art and science of planning and leading software projects. It is a sub-discipline of project management in which software projects are planned, monitored and controlled.he history of software project management is closely related to the history of software. Software was developed for dedicated purposes for dedicated machines until the concept of Object-oriented programming began to become popular in the 1960's, making repeatable solutions possible for the software industry. Dedicated systems could be adapted to other uses thanks to Component-based software engineering. Companies quickly understood the relative ease of use that software programming had over hardware circuitry, and the software industry grew very quickly in the 1970's and 1980's.
