This book was released on 2009-11-23 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Past experience with the development of software products indicates that there is much scope for improvement. Being design intensive, software projects run the risk of cost/schedule overruns besides remaining off the mark in satisfying the customers. The blame for the failures is very often attributed to inadequate project management rather than lack of competence in development. With the growth in the size and complexity of software projects and the corresponding design and development effort involved, the importance of formal software project management cannot be overemphasized. This book, in its second edition, comprehensively presents the essentials of theory and practice of software project management methodologies. The aim is to introduce the readers to the subject in a conceptual framework. The topics included in this edition are updated as per the ongoing trends in the field of software project management. There is an appendix on Metrics and Measurements. This title includes a list of abbreviations at the beginning of chapters. The book is well-suited for teaching an academic course of one semester or for conducting short training programmes for software engineers and project managers. Armed with updated concepts and ideas, software engineers and project managers will be able to plan every aspect of a project to ensure its timely implementation within the stipulated budget and required quality standards.
