Software project managers are often faced with
challenges when trying to effectively staff and schedule
projects. Incorrectly planning and estimating the execution of
tasks frequently causes software projects to be delivered late
and/or over budget. Also selecting the appropriate developers
to carry out tasks may produce lower-quality, defective
software products. Thus, an adequate model for software
project planning has to deal with not only the problem of
project task scheduling but also the problem of human resource
allocation. Here is a review on different methods used for
solving the issues related with software project scheduling.

Software Project Scheduling is one of the most
important tasks for Software Project management team.
Some activities of the project are very critical that delay
the overall project completion time and cost. By
adopting any software project scheduling technique is
the step every software project manager can take to
more effectively manage software development. Here a
review of some of these software project scheduling
techniques is done using various research papers in this
field.
