"If you're looking for solid, easy-to-follow advice on estimation,
requirements gathering, managing change, and more, you can stop
now: this is the book for you."
--Scott Berkun, Author of "The Art of Project Management"
What makes software projects succeed? It takes more than a good
idea and a team of talented programmers. A project manager needs to
know how to guide the team through the entire software project.
There are common pitfalls that plague all software projects and
rookie mistakes that are made repeatedly--sometimes by the same
people! Avoiding these pitfalls is not hard, but it is not
necessarily intuitive. Luckily, there are tried and true techniques
that can help any project manager.
In "Applied Software Project Management," Andrew Stellman and
Jennifer Greene provide you with tools, techniques, and practices
that you can use on your own projects right away. This book
supplies you with the information you need to diagnose your team's
situation and presents practical advice to help you achieve your
goal of building better software.
Topics include:
Planning a software project
Helping a team estimate its workload
Building a schedule
Gathering software requirements and creating use cases
Improving programming with refactoring, unit testing, and
version control
Managing an outsourced project
Testing software
