An Optimized Resolution for Software Project Planning with Improved Max-Min Ant System Algorithm

Software Project Management (SPM) is one of the primary factors to software success or failure. SPM has been the bottleneck in software engineering area. We apply an improved Max–Min Ant System algorithm to Software Project Planning to make the appropriate worker-task assignment in a software project so the cost and duration of the project are minimized. Experimental results shows that using this Improved Ant Colony Optimization algorithm can obtain a feasible solution which can help us to get the appropriate PERT Graph and Gantt Chart of the software project, then we can obtain the minimized project duration and cost. So Software project management can been improved.
