Description

"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
Jennifer Greene and Andrew Stellman have been
building software together since 1998. Andrew comes from a programming
background and has managed teams of requirements analysts, designers, and
developers. Jennifer has a testing background and has managed teams of
architects, developers, and testers. She has led multiple large-scale
outsourced projects. Between the two of them, they have managed every aspect
of software development. They have worked in a wide range of industries,
including finance, telecommunications, media, nonprofit, entertainment,
natural-language processing, science, and academia. For more information about
