Abstract

In this paper a software development team is characterized by a Human-Software Environment (HSE) model, which captures the individual characteristics of the participants in a project such as their professional and specialization skills and knowledge. This paper presents some practical applications of the HSE model for the Human Resource Management (HRM) activities in support of the Software Development Process (SDP). We show how managing the Human-Software Environment facilitates the determination of available and required human resources with respect to the project task(s) and finds an optimal allocation of human resources in the context of economic constraints and customer requirements, etc. The proposed approach is based on mathematical modelling. Illustrative examples are presented.
