Software　engineering　processes　are　the　steps　which　aim　to　produce　software　that　meet　the　demand　and　achieve　the　goal　of　the　project.　It　includes　the　development　process,　testing　process,　operation　process,　maintenance　process.　These　processes　cover　the　requirements,　design,　implementation,　verification　and　maintenance　and　other　activities.　Effective　software　engineering　is　an　organic　combination　of　personnel,　tools　and　methods　combine,　which　can　enhance　productivity,　improve　software　quality,　cut　down　the　costs　and　mitigate　risk.　This　paper　presents　a　practical　human　resource　configuration　strategy　based　on　the　most　widely　used　software　life　cycle　model.　In　this　paper,　person　was　distinguished　with　each　other　according　to　their　ability,　and　a　human　resources　configuration　model　was　established　in　the　process　of　software　engineering.　By　solving　the　model,　quantitative　data　was　obtained　to　conduct　the　staff　allocation.　A　specific　software　engineering　was　illustrated　and　human　resources　configuration　strategy　in　this　research　was　proved　to　be　effective　and　practical.　©　2010　IEEE.
