Software Project Management - A Real-World Guide to Success

Software project management principles are presented, in a friendly tone, in the same order they appear in actual project progression.
KEY TOPICS: This book focuses on applications rather than topics. The culture of a software project team, the leadership technique that will lead to success, and the importance of the process itself are all closely looked at. Multiple sources from both academic and professional situations are integrated into the text to give it a broader feel.
MARKET: Professional Software Engineers; Software Project Management and Project Management courses. Previously announced in the 10/02 catalog.
