Project Management for Software Development

Project Management for Software Development describes mainly how to initiate-plan-execute, as well as how to manage people, time, budget, communications, risks and issues to successfully deliver projects from end-to-end. It covers in detail the entire suite of project management formats needed, and describes in depth how to undertake every activity within the project life cycle. It also includes IT project management techniques that will help you learn to work with users, define the scope, gather business requirements, make good team assignments and incorporate software quality control into your project. With a clear and user-friendly approach, the book discusses the benefits of a converging project management-process management connection. The described tight coupling of the process world to the SPM world provides a high degree of completeness and accuracy necessary for effective project management. Through examples and detailed explanations, process-based software project management illustrates how this novel SPM approach is more profitable and time-efficient when compared to traditional SPM methods. This book will be of immense value to software managers/project managers who strive to achieve SPM/software engineering success. It will also be of great help to PMI students or students pursuing studies in SPM in management courses or doing their MBA.
