Process-Based Software Project Management, (Paperback)

Failing to match the management of software projects with actual development processes can lead to cost overruns, bad tasking decisions, and unrealistic schedules that will hinder any software project. This volume describes clearly and simply how to make certain that the project management-process effectively connects to engineer tasking, quality control, metrics, and repeatability. Detailing realistic and sensible planning and tracking activities, it demonstrates the best use of a process framework. This book also equips managers with the ability to design a plan that can handle the inevitable scheduling and cost adjustments that must be made to accommodate changing customer requirements.
