The traditional project management rules do not apply in the software world. While not all software projects operate in a state of crisis, it is certainly true that most do. Accordingly this book approaches software project management from two directions: (1) how to plan and manage a software project; and (2) how to regain control of a project that has been overwhelmed by events.
Essentials of Software Project Management provides real-world strategies to make every software project more organized and less frantic.
Rely on Essentials of Software Project Management to help you:
- Recognize the early warnings that a software project is heading off track - and know how to redirect it.
- Gather the right people and right tools to ensure a successful software project.
- Plan, track, and control a software project at each critical stage.
- Manage software defects to deliver products that meet or exceed quality objectives.
- Conduct software reviews, walkthroughs, and inspections to spot problems before they turn into crises.
- Recover software projects that are suffering from lack of control, and more!
