ProjectNavigator: A Software Project Management Approach Selection Assistant

In software projects, project management approaches are crucial. Selecting a suitable management approach based on the specific project characteristics becomes the key to the success of the project. However, software projects are becoming more and more complex, and project managers tend to rely on subjective judgment to select the project management approaches. At present, project managers lack a systematic method or tool that can help them quickly and accurately select the most suitable project management approach to reduce project risks and improve the success rate. The objective of this research is to propose a tool to assist project managers in selecting the most suitable project management approach based on the specific project characteristics. This research will collect and analyze existing project management approaches and their applicable scenarios to extract relevant influencing factors. Then, a recommendation tool is developed to compare and recommend the most suitable project management approach. Finally, the usability and effectiveness of the tool will be validated through expert evaluation and usability testing. Through this tool, project managers can quickly analyze and compare the suitability of different management approaches and obtain specific guidance and suggestions, significantly improving the success rate of projects.
