hello everyone welcome back to my
youtube channel trouble free in this
video i'm going to explain you about
umbrella activities in the subject of
software engineering so basically
before watching this video i suggest you
to watch the video on the process
framework because it is going to depend
on that so process framework you already
know it is nothing but establishing a
foundation for the software engineering
right so in process framework we have
two things
first one is the framework activities
and the second one is the umbrella
activities about framework activities
i've already explained in the previous
video in this video let us see about
umbrella activities so basically
framework activities we have
five framework activities right we have
learned so those five framework
activities are best suitable to small
projects okay in case you're going for
large projects these fry framework
activities may not be applicable in that
case what you have to do you need to
follow these umbrella activities okay so
why do you need umbrella activities in
order to track control and manage the
project you need these eight umbrella
activities okay so in this video i'll be
explaining you about each and everything
so
let's get into the
you know in depth about each and every
umbrella activity first one is software
project tracking and control so here
what will happen is in the first step in
the project tracking and control we will
have a software team
okay so here we will have a team
that team
will assess the progress against the
plan and take the necessary action in
order to maintain the schedule that is
for example suppose you have a plan
so you are going to complete a software
in seven days so on day one what to do
on day two what to do on date seven what
to do you will have a plan right so we
will have a software team who will
monitor the plan and who will monitor
the progress of the work that is
the actual work we are doing and what is
the plan whether we are going according
to the plan or not if you are not going
according to the plan it will try to
maintain the schedule it will try to
make us go along with the plan the team
will guide us the team will suggest us
the team will inform us cut us you are
not going according to the plan please
try to go according to the plan got it
this is what happens in the software
project tracking and control our work
progress will be compared against the
plan and
appropriate uh decisions or feedback
will be given okay that is the first
umbrella activity
next second one is the risk management
risk management is nothing but it will
identify the risk
okay and it will um
you know
analyze the risk what is the reason for
the risk from where it has started it
will do all the analysis part and it
will try to solve the risk or rectify
the risk got it so about risk management
in the fifth chapter we have a detailed
explanation i've already done videos
about that uh but i will be linking
according to the uh playlist order
itself so about risk management i have
done a complete detail video but in
umbrella activity point of view you need
not write all that so if you just define
what is risk management that will be
enough
next comes the software quality
assurance so here what will be done is
we will be testing the quality of the
software that's it to be a very simple
so about software quality assurance also
i already did uh you'll be learning in
the fifth chapter in detail but as of
now it will test the quality of the
software by doing some activities like
reviews
um and so on so by doing some activities
it will be testing the quality of the
software that's all
next comes the formal technical reviews
so uh formal technical reviews also
about this also i
explained in the fifth chapter like you
know uh formal technical reviews in the
sense group of people will be sitting
they will be discussing about the things
happening if there are any modifications
to be done and all same it's also like a
review only about this have done in
detail video about um in the fifth
chapter you can
you know learn it from there
next is measurement
so
in measurement what will happen is it
will measure the
cost
time
manpower how much manpower is required
and what are the requirements that are
required so all the measurement related
activities will be done in this
measurement got it next comes the
software configuration management so
simple what do you mean by configuration
management if there are any changes
so because of that changes what are the
effects happening
so if there are any changes what are the
effects of these changes so when a
software is changing or when we are
changing the requirements of a software
or when we are changing the design of a
software so how it is going to affect
the user or how it is going to affect
the software how it is going to affect
the organization all these things will
come under the configuration management
got it so next is reusability management
the seventh one so reusability means
what you must be able to use a software
or a work product or a requirement or
uh you know a part of software or
whatever it is you must be able to use
it again
right so here in reusability management
what will happen is it will define the
criteria for reusability that is if you
want to use a software again
or a work product again what is the
criteria that it has to satisfy in order
to use it again got it so that will be
mentioned here in the reusability
management
got it next
work product preparation and production
so here what will happen is it will have
the documents
all the
tables or whatever records
files everything related to the
which are required to create a work
product okay so work product preparation
and production in order to create a work
product what are all the required
so the requirements
to create
the
work
product it can have
files tables records documents and so on
okay so these are the eight umbrella
activities we have
so i guess you guys are clear about this
and that's all for this video
we have eight umbrella activities
software project tracking and control
risk management software quality
assurance formal technical reviews
measurement
software configuration management
reusability management work product
preparation and production okay so
that's all for this video actually after
this umbrella activities topic we are
having cmmi capability maturity model
integration about this i have already
done a video in the management sciences
playlist so
i will give the you know
in in the playlist order i will include
it you can have access from there okay
so thanks for watching the video till
the end let's meet up so the next coming
video with another topic till then stay
tuned to my channel
