Software Engineering Project Management, 2nd Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book provides abroad but detailed look at the functions and activities necessary for the proper management of a software development project.It is what you would expect from IEEE, an academic perspective on the process---both from a quantitative development and quality management orientation.Some of the contributors are, of course, priceless (particularly Alan M. Davis' "Trial By Firing: Saga of a Rookie Manager") in relating their own experiences as project managers in this strange business we're in.
