Accordingly, Essentials of Software Project Management, second edition provides guidance for planning and managing a software project, as well as critical advice for regaining control of a project that has been overwhelmed by events. The latest edition of this valuable project management resource will help you:

-Create a comprehensive and effective project plan
-Recognize the early warnings that a software project is heading off track so you can redirect it
-Gather the right people and tools to ensure project success
-Plan, track, and control a software project at each critical stage
-Manage software defects to deliver products that meet or exceed quality objectives
-Conduct software reviews, walkthroughs, and inspections to spot problems before they turn into crises
-Develop complex systems and manage testing of COTS-intensive systems
-Implement quality frameworks and international standards
