Fundamentals of Software Engineering Project Management eBook

ONLY US$29.95 - BUY NOW

  For many engineering and other projects, software has become the pivotal part: it controls generation and distribution of electricity: water purification and distribution: robotic systems in production plants: vehicle, their engines, and traffic flows: household equipment: aircraft, air traffic, and passenger bookings: telecommunications; logistics: spacecraft and space missions, etc., etc. Software also plays an ever-increasing role in business management, logistics, resource allocations, business processes, financial transactions, accounting, communication, human resources, etc.

Because of software's growing importance, its development must be managed even more carefully than other areas of large projects. Software development has grown from an art, to a craft, to a proper engineering discipline. Merging the application of structured engineering with that of disciplined project management for software development, results in the concept 'software engineering project management' - and that is the focus of this eBook.

"Software is a product (although a rather "fluid" one), like any other result of engineering methodologies. Software development requirements are a structured application of scientific and engineering principles in order to analyse, design, construct, document and maintain it. Like any engineering development, large scale software development also requires the disciplined application of project management principles."

The intention with this eBook is not to instantly convert readers into the world's leading managers in software development projects, nor to provide recipes or quick fix solutions for engineering management - but it is specifically aimed at:

  • Making software engineering project managers more aware of a variety of available project management techniques; and helping them to plan, organise, staff, direct and control software development projects.
  • Providing line managers (especially engineering and marketing managers) with better understanding of the major issues involved in managing a software development project.
  • Giving software developers (e.g. designers, programmers and testers) an opportunity to gain a better understanding.
