Organized into four parts to address these questions, A Manager's Guide to Software Engineering examines the creation, practical applications, and management of software; presents a proven strategy for implementing software engineering within your company; discusses the components of effective software project management; and provides an understanding of the methods and tools used. A Manager's Guide to Software Engineering gives you the answers to more than 450 questions covering virtually every aspect of software engineering and software process improvement.
