Since the earliest days of the computer industry managing a software project has been a complex and demanding activity. While the technical content of software products and the technical methods used to build them have changed over time the fundamental issues that determine the success or failure of software projects have remain fairly constant. That is the same fundamental management mistakes continue to be made. To cite a few examplesrequirements are unclear at the beginning of projects and are not managed during the project the product is not tested adequately schedules are misestimated or not tracked in sufficient detail. The contents of this book together with the underlying IEEE Standards are dedicated to helping the reader in their work: The continuing quest to produce quality software products in a predictable manner.This book containing all original material is based on the proposition that the IEEE Software Engineering Standards capture many of the fundamental 'best practices' of software project management. It is written to assist the reader in applying those standards to their projects and company. To meet this goal the authors discuss and elaborate the standards that bear on the three key management areas of: Software systems engineering Processes for developing software products Planning and control of software project activities.The body of the book is correspondingly organized into three parts. Software Systems Engineering which argues that software development projects are most successful when developed using a systems level viewpoint. Process Management and Control which describes the key activities needed to define support and manage a project's software development processes. Project Planning and Management completes the book integrating the elements of cost and schedule estimation and control risk management and the role metrics play in performing those tasks.Read more
