About the Book

The practical handbook of software project management -- by practitioners, for practitioners! Identifies and teaches 34 essential project management skills and competencies. Covers the entire project lifecycle, and all three key success factors: process, project, and people. Endorsed by the Software Quality Institute. This is a practical, start-to-finish guide to project management for every software professional -- both experienced project managers and developers moving into leadership roles. Drawing upon best practices identified at the University of Texas Software Quality Institute's Software Project Management Certificate Program, this book identifies 34 key skills and competencies every software project manager must master, and covers all three pillars of any successful venture: process, project, and people.KEY TOPICS:Quality Software Project Management is the only book designed to marry the best practices of the leaders of every relevant discipline: quality, software engineering, and project management. Using detailed case studies and real-world anecdotes, the authors cover the entire project lifecycle: planning, initiation, execution, control, and closing. They offer practical checklists, templates, and forms any project manager can use -- all of them downloadable from the book's companion Web site.MARKET:For software project managers at all levels, and for all developers who may be called upon to manage projects in the future.
