Feels Difficult about Software projects-Make it easier. WHAT IS SOFTWARE? Software is defined as a set of data,instructions or programs which are used to execute specific tasks and operate computers. It describes the physical aspects of a computer. Software is defined as a generic term which are used to refer to scripts,applications and programs that are run on a device. It can be a thought of the variable part of a computer, while hardware is the invariable part of a computer. The two main categories of software which are system software and application software. A system software is designed to run a computer's hardware and provides a platform for applications to run on top of.An application software that fulfills a specific need or performs tasks. Other types of software are includes programming software, which provides the programming tools for software developers need, middleware which are sits between system software and application software; and driver software means which operates peripherals and computer devices. IMPORTANCE OF SOFTWARE PROJECTS: Every project needs at least one goal. Most have multiple goals. Sometimes these goals are called the project objectives, or collectively referred to as the mission of the project. Actually, we believe that the mission of the project is to accomplish the goals and/or objectives. Whatever label is used, defining them clearly and crisply can be one of the simplest and most beneficial things done during the whole software development project. A fuzzy goal will most likely lead to fuzzy results. Managing software projects well is mostly about managing expectations and foreseeing risks. The software project manager always has at least one goal: to finish the project. This comes from the definition of what a software project is defined as a temporary endeavour with achievem one or more objectives to define start and end dates to within the limitations of schedule, cost, and quality performance. Often, what seems like an obvious software project goal may not be seen the same way by everyone. This is why is important to write it down, and interpret it for the project team. For example, a software development project to build a web-based timesheet data entry system may be viewed as:
