Having problems managing an Iterative Process? The software development lifecycle is a series of iterations, from beginning to end.

Project Management can be an overwhelming task on any size project and even more daunting if stepping out of your normal mode and into a world of managing an iterative project for the first time. Project Managers are key people in any project and the focal point of upper management, ensuring all participants understand their role, and the goals of the project.
