Description and Analysis of Operations and Operating processes carried out: Software development is different from conventional product design and development. model includes the following stages: {draw:frame} Gerry Coleman Department of Computing, Dundalk Institute of Technology, Dundalk, Ireland, and Rory V. O’Connor School of Computing, Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland) Requirement gathering phase forms the integral phase of supply chain where physical or web interaction with the customer takes place in order to understand their expectation from the software system and satisfy accordingly.The major onus is on Project manager to ensure that the change is properly defined and agreed, and that its effects on the software are known (ie., how extensive is the change and what is its effect).The developers forms the other extreme end of the supply chain to actually change or develop the software and deliver it accurately and timely .The products of every stage (including documents) are subject to appropriate processes of inspection, review or testing, both for internal integrity (verification) and against requirements (validation). required for each stage,Company allocate qualified engineers on the project to develop the system as per the resource allocation specification so that it does not exceed the specified budget and can be completed in estimated time scale. 3i-infotech pays too much importance on staffing the resource on particular project. Evaluation of the organization’s operational performance against strategic requirement: India is a booming nation of software innovations. Thus customer tends to be demanding and are constantly seeking new and innovative products. 3i-infotech support the value of insight, integration and innovation. Thus it becomes mandatory to deliver high quality,reliable,tailored made or innovative product and services. Even if customer demands a wide range of products and services, the operational objective should be expressed in terms of flexibility to deliver the range of items demanded.There is no point being of high Quality if it exceeds the estimated budget or being fast if it does not meet up the quality standards. The complex environment in which software organisations operate in, causes most projects in this industry to not be completed according to the desired specifications, within the specified budget and the promised time schedule, while keeping the customer and stakeholders happy (McGrew and Bilotta, 2000; Luna-Reyes et al., 2005). van Genuchten (1991) has found that 70 per cent of projects in the software sector are completed over budget and 30 per cent over schedule. According to Whittaker (1999), 31 per cent of these projects are cancelled before completion and more than half the projects cost an average of 189 per cent of their original estimates. Recommendations: The following definition of software project development is quoted from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards[1]: “Software project management is the process of planning, organizing, staffing, monitoring, controlling, and leading a software project”. Project managers deal {draw:frame} Risks are part and parcel of projects (Dey and Ogunlana, 2004). Software development projects are not different, as project planning is done with minimum information. However, the degree of risk varies with complexity, size (both in terms of schedule and budget), and location. Scope creep, lack of understanding of problems, ambiguous requirements, lack of resources, hardware, networking, and security issues are some of the common risk elements in software development projects. Therefore, there is a need to manage risk in software development. Six Sigma Total Quality Management Business process reengineering
