I've been managing projects for a while, and I'll take a try at any questions that you have.  My answers may not be the answers that you teacher is looking for, however.

owh ok, maybe you can share your experience in managing a project

llib_xoc · Answer

OK.  There are a few principles that work well:

     plan for *everything* (requirements gathering, machine time, vacation time, meetings, testing, documentation, training)

     keep completed project documents around - planning a project is easier when it's based upon experience with a similar project

     have the engineers who will do the work do much of the planning - how can someone make as estimate of effort for someone else?

    have meetings about weekly to communicate - note that this differs from the Agile daily "stand up" meetings

    it's way better to promise less than you intend to deliver, at a later time than 
to promise more than you can deliver for an earlier time.  This principle is called "under promise and over deliver".

Feedback please.   Are these interesting/useful?
