Essentials of Software Project Management

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 (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.
