Book Description
Past experience with the development of software products indicates that there is much scope for improvement. Being design intensive, software projects run the risk of cost/schedule overruns besides remaining off the mark in satisfying the customers. The blame for the failures is very often attributed to inadequate project management rather than lack of competence in development. With the growth in the size and complexity of software projects and the corresponding design and development effort involved, the importance of formal software project management cannot be overemphasized. This book, in its second edition, comprehensively presents the essentials of theory and practice of software project management methodologies. The aim is to introduce the readers to the subject in a conceptual framework. The topics included in this edition are updated as per the ongoing trends in the field of software project management. There is an appendix on Metrics and Measurements. This title includes a list of abbreviations at the beginning of chapters. The book is well-suited for teaching an academic course of one semester or for conducting short training programmes for software engineers and project managers. Armed with updated concepts and ideas, software engineers and project managers will be able to plan every aspect of a project to ensure its timely implementation within the stipulated budget and required quality standards.

Book Description
Practical Guidance on the Efficient Development of High-Quality Software Introduction to Software Engineering, Second Edition equips students with the fundamentals to prepare them for satisfying careers as software engineers regardless of future changes in the field, even if the changes are unpredictable or disruptive in nature. Retaining the same organization as its predecessor, this second edition adds considerable material on open source and agile development models. The text helps students understand software development techniques and processes at a reasonably sophisticated level. Students acquire practical experience through team software projects. Throughout much of the book, a relatively large project is used to teach about the requirements, design, and coding of software. In addition, a continuing case study of an agile software development project offers a complete picture of how a successful agile project can work. The book covers each major phase of the software development life cycle, from developing software requirements to software maintenance. It also discusses project management and explains how to read software engineering literature. Three appendices describe software patents, command-line arguments, and flowcharts.
