Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The sole book on software strategy designed for managers with little technical background, this highly praised guide won the Maeventec Award from Computer Book Review for "exemplary style, content, and format." In its new softcover version it will attract an even wider readership-especially since increasing numbers of nontechnical mangers are now taking part on software development teams. Pressman explains the complexities of software engineering to a managerial audience by highlighting its impact on the corporation. In a relaxed question-and-answer format, he helps readers frame and answer four key questions: What is software engineering and why is it important to us? How do we manage the changes it requires? How can it help us manage project more effective?

From the Back Cover
The award-winning book on software strategy for managers-now in paperback! Roger Pressman, best-selling computer author and internationally recognized consultant, uses clear, conversational language and real-worl examples to explain what software engineering means for managers as their roles change to include more technical responsilbities. This highly-praised guide helps you to understand the answers to four key questions: What exaclty is software engineering, and why is it important to your company?; How do you bring about the changes to make it work? How should you use it to manage projects more effectively?; What do you need to know in order to introduce this technology into your company? 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.
