The management view consists of the project managers and those she
interacts with outside the project.
- Project manager is the one responsible for the project. She has
a finite set of resources allocated, primarily time and manpower, and
shall achieve a set of goals. She has to plan the project and allocate
the resources so that she can achieve as many as possible of the
goals.
- Resource allocator is the one allocating resources to the
project. Initially the project is given some resources, but this
allocation can be changed during the course of the project. These
changes can be due to a change in goals or that the initial resources
where to plentiful or to scarce. Development with reuse is always a
risk as it is impossible to fully predict the amount of work needed
to adapt a component for reuse. It is important that this risk is well
understood, and that sensible judgement is conducted, but there is no
guarantee that there will never be misjudgements resulting in
overruns.
- Project evaluator is responsible for assessing the project both
as it is running and when it is over. This can be both with regards to
project planing (process) and produced results (product).
