Software Engineering helps in making software projects effectively and within its time-line and budgetary because it provides project life-cycle models which can be adopted according to the nature of projects. SE brings the procedures which ensure the quality and provide statistical control techniques. Planning and risk analysis phase provide an overview of budget and time required for project completion. Project scheduling and monitoring enables managers to keep an eye on resources and modules completion in a project. Project tracking is another good tool to keep the project smooth, on going and error tracking equips the SE to point out the hurdles and get resolved in time. Software Quality Assurance process keep the development process on track and degree of change in scope of work can be measured and handled by measuring change activity. Finally capability maturity model helps the project development process at its optimization level, instead of just application of models. I have described Software Engineering tools as a quick overview but in details it really helps in making software projects effective and project completion in defined budget and time-line.
