The team should have fun and still engineer the software accurately and efficiently. This book can help you manage software projects and more effectively lead a project team. It will help them stay on course, lead their people, and not confuse the two. Software practitioners can use it to help them engineer software, understand what their manager is doing, help their manager, and decide if software project management is a goal they want to set. Computer science and engineering students can see how the software workplace is quite different from the classroom.
Software is a key factor in every project in business and government today.
There is one person in every project who is responsible for the success of that project the software project manager. Managers, the people who make the decisions, are to blame for most of these failures. We must improve. We need to know where to start, the steps to follow, and what to consider each day so that we can make decisions that lead to success. This book has four parts.
