value of project and evaluations. Identification of the project is in steps of three major activities
5

like in scope, budget and time these are follows management and monitoring. These activities
are go through the technology and tools of software for more efficient and easy to operated.
The requirement of the public is identify and observed by the survey and many sites of feedback

tools, transportation facilities, material suppliers, stationary, etc. The material and supply of the
software product and design is collected and analysis of the Information of material suppliers.
The material suppliers are in Software Company is also required the discussion of their design
and required design for new adaptations. Alternative are also analyzed in market and their data
collection with reviews of market. The material suppliers are provided material quality
management system and their validity with life span. The all needs of material features and
quality related is involved document and certificates work on the material. Material is used in the
software company found IT and computing manufacturing companies where mostly contact to
