I think you can explore how project managers are dealing with technical debts or what they are expecting of team members' soft skills. Or, maybe, explore something related to risk management.

Best regards.

I would differentiate between ‘SW project mgmt’ and ‘SW development methods’. Both combine somehow in any SW development initiative.

About ‘SW project mgmt’, PMI’s PMBOK covers all that’s needed and more than what’s usually affordable.

About ‘SW development methods’ —waterfall, V, prototyping, Agile (Scrum, Kanban. etc.) and many others— there’s a lot of literature available reflecting the evolution from the basically sequential waterfall to the modern Agile approaches and the way different organizations tackle them.

Agile is widely used, but many large old companies are still lagging in its adoption, due to organizational and cultural issues amongst other reasons.

DevOps is a singular approach since it combines development and operations, thus introducing a third element.

There’s no a ‘one-fits-all solution’, so you have a wide scope for choosing the subject of your dissertation.

Best!

Hello,

Dear Priyanka,

In SPM, you can work on agile methodology that is very hot topic in these days. Especially distributed agile (Scrum) development team face various problems during project development. For this purpose, you can propose new approach OR conducted survey and identify the critical aspect in your country context.

project management issues are

1. high competitive market

2. globalization

3. lack of skilled talented for project

4. digitalizationi.e. infrastructure issues.
