Leadership and management are two terms that are commonly used to mean the same thing, however they have slight but different meanings. According to Kathy Schwalbe leaders are “focused on long-term goals and the big-picture objectives while inspiring others to reach those goals”, and managers “deal with the day-to-day details of meeting specific goals”.

With that in mind a project manager has to be both, they work on setting the goals of a project and run the day-to-day details to meet a goal. To do this a project manager has to inspire the team members to meet the set goals.

It uses system analysis to analyze a problem as related to the system as a whole. This allows a problem to be addressed while keeping the entire system in mind for the best outcome for the entire organization. Software Development Life Cycle is a series of steps, or phases, that provide a model for the development and lifecycle management of an application or piece of software. (VERACODE, 2014) It includes two broad models the predictive life cycle and the adaptive software development (ADS) life cycle model. The predictive life cycle model means that the schedule and cost can be accurately predicted and the scope can be accurately articulated. In the ADS life cycle model the development takes and adaptive approach because the requirements cannot be clearly expressed early on. Examples of the predictive life cycle model according to the textbook “Information Technology Project Management 7th Edition” include: * The waterfall life cycle – Has well defined, linear
