Book Description

Publication Date: 1999

The traditional project management rules do not apply in the software world. While not all software projects operate in a state of crisis, it is certainly true that most do. Accordingly this book approaches software project management from two directions: (1) how to plan and manage a software project; and (2) how to regain control of a project that has been overwhelmed by events.

Essentials of Software Project Management provides real-world strategies to make every software project more organized and less frantic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, practical guide for software project mgrs, January 10, 2000

Robert Sholtes (Germantown, MD) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Essentials of Software Project Management (Mass Market Paperback)

Dr. Bechtold's text is an excellent starting point for anybody new to software project management, or for current software project managers who know that current methods are lacking. The book uniquely lays out the steps which can assist in the planning process and keep a project on track.

While many elements in the text can be found in other project management texts, Essentials provides a practical roadmap typically lacking in other texts. Further, Dr. Bechtold manages to bring to the fore the critical, soft factors which make or break a project.
