Umbrella activities in Software Engineering

Any standard software process model would primarily consist of two types of activities: A set of framework activities, which are always applicable, regardless of the project type, and a set of umbrella activities, which are the non SDLC activities that span across the entire software development life cycle.

Typical activities in this category include:

01. Software project tracking and control : 

Tracking and Control is the dual process of detecting when a project is drifting off-plan, and taking corrective action to bring the project back on track. But a successful project manager will also be able to tell when the plan itself is faulty, and even re-plan the project and its goals if necessary.

02. Formal technical reviews : 

This includes reviewing the techniques that has been used in the project.

03. Software quality assurance : 

This is very important to ensure the quality measurement of each part to ensure them.

04. Software configuration management :

In software engineering, software configuration management (SCM or S/W CM) is the task of tracking and controlling changes in thesoftware, part of the larger cross-disciplinary field of configuration management. SCM practices include revision control and the establishment of baselines.

05. Document preparation and production : 

All the project planning and other activities should be hardly copied and the production get started here.

06. Reusability management : 

This includes the backing up of each part of the software project they can be corrected or any kind of support can be given to them later to update or upgrade the software at user/time demand.

07. Measurement : 

This will include all the measurement of every aspects of the software project.

08. Risk management : 
Risk management is a series of steps that help a software team to understand and manage uncertainty. It’s a really good idea to identify it, assess its probability of occurrence, estimate its impact, and establish a contingency plan that─ ‘should the problem actually occur’.
