Synopsis

Traditional project management rules do not apply in the software world. Software projects tend to operate in a state of crisis more so than other project types. Accordingly, this book provides guidance for planning and managing a software project, as well as critical advice for regaining control of a project that has been overwhelmed by events. The latest edition of this valuable project management resource will help you:

. Create a comprehensive and effective project plan

. Recognize the early warnings that a software project is heading off track so you can redirect it

. Gather the right people and tools to ensure project success

. Plan, track and control a software project at each critical stage

. Manage software defects to deliver products that meet or exceed quality objectives

. Conduct software reviews, walkthroughs and inspections to spot problems before they turn into crises

. Develop complex systems and manage testing of COTS-intensive systems

. Implement quality frameworks and international standards

. Recover software projects that are suffering from lack of control
