The book is organized around basic principles of software project management: planning and estimating, measuring and controlling, leading and communicating, and managing risk.
Introduces software development methods, from traditional (hacking, requirements to code, and waterfall) to iterative (incremental build, evolutionary, agile, and spiral).
Illustrates and emphasizes tailoring the development process to each project, with a foundation in the fundamentals that are true for all development methods.
Topics such as the WBS, estimation, schedule networks, organizing the project team, and performance reporting are integrated, rather than being relegating to appendices.
Each chapter in the book includes an appendix that covers the relevant topics from CMMI-DEV-v1.2, IEEE/ISO Standards 12207, IEEE Standard 1058, and the PMI� Body of Knowledge.
