DOT NET Interview Questions - DotNetSpider

12. Project Management
Note:- This topic is meant specially for .NET programmer’s who are looking for better
position rather than simple programmer jobs.Project management is not everybody’s cup of
tea.I have seen 10 year good decent technical guys do not get this position easily.But street
smart programmers with average technical guys do really good.How much ever i try to cover
this topic in this book.....it has so many variation’s that it’s really difficult to predict every
scenario of project management interview.But definitely i will try to cover the basic’s by
which you can atleast get a feel of what is asked.
(B) What is project management?
Applying knowledge,skills,tools,techniques in project and deliver project deliverables is
a short definition of project management.Its’s basically managing project time , cost and
scope.
(A) Is spending in IT project’s constant through out the
project?
Note:- It’s a tricky question , to know how much depth you have regarding costing of
projects.
Normally in initial stage of project’s (requirement and design phase) the cost is very less
(As you need maximum is business analyst and architecture), but as the project proceeds
cost factor starts increasing.The cost is maximum in coding phase (this is where you
require programmers , project leads and project manager).Later when the project is in
testing and acceptance phase cost is less as we will need only one or two programmers for
removing bugs , than the whole team.

* Never give anything extra to a customer , it comes at a price---This is one of decent quote’s
that can impress during project management interviews.
