The book begins with an overview of the fundamental techniques of project management and the technical aspects of software development.

The second part illustrates the technical activities of software development in a coherent process-describing how to customize this process to fit a wide range of software development scenarios. Examines project management frameworks and software development standards, including ESA and NASA guidelines, PRINCE2 (R), and PMBOK (R) Addresses open source development practices and tools so readers can adopt best practices and get started with tools that are available for free Explains how to tailor the development process to different kinds of products and formalities, including the development of web applications Includes access to additional material for both practitioners and teachers at www.spmbook.com Supplying an analysis of existing development and management frameworks, the book describes how to set up an open-source tool infrastructure to manage projects.
