Description

"If you're looking for solid, easy-to-follow advice on estimation, requirements gathering, managing change, and more, you can stop now: this is the book for you."
--Scott Berkun, Author of The Art of Project Management


What makes software projects succeed? It takes more than a good idea and a team of talented programmers. A project manager needs to know how to guide the team through the entire software project. There are common pitfalls that plague all software projects and rookie mistakes that are made repeatedly--sometimes by the same people! Avoiding these pitfalls is not hard, but it is not necessarily intuitive. Luckily, there are tried and true techniques that can help any project manager.


In Applied Software Project Management, Andrew Stellman and Jennifer Greene provide you with tools, techniques, and practices that you can use on your own projects right away. This book supplies you with the information you need to diagnose your team's situation and presents practical advice to help you achieve your goal of building better software.


Topics include:

  • Planning a software project
  • Helping a team estimate its workload
  • Building a schedule
  • Gathering software requirements and creating use cases
  • Improving programming with refactoring, unit testing, and version control
  • Managing an outsourced project
  • Testing software


Jennifer Greene and Andrew Stellman have been building software together since 1998. Andrew comes from a programming background and has managed teams of requirements analysts, designers, and developers. Jennifer has a testing background and has managed teams of architects, developers, and testers. She has led multiple large-scale outsourced projects. Between the two of them, they have managed every aspect of software development. They have worked in a wide range of industries, including finance, telecommunications, media, nonprofit, entertainment, natural-language processing, science, and academia.

成功的軟體專案需要什麼?不僅僅是一個好點子和一群有才華的程式設計師。專案經理需要知道如何引導團隊完成整個軟體專案。所有軟體專案都會遇到共同的陷阱,並且有些初學者錯誤會一再發生,有時甚至是同一個人!避免這些陷阱並不難,但也不一定直觀。幸運的是,有一些經過驗證的技巧可以幫助任何專案經理。

在《應用軟體專案管理》一書中,Andrew Stellman和Jennifer Greene為您提供了可以立即應用於自己專案的工具、技巧和實踐方法。本書提供了診斷團隊狀況所需的信息,並提供實用建議,幫助您實現構建更好軟體的目標。

主題包括:
- 軟體專案規劃
- 幫助團隊估算工作量
- 構建時間表
- 收集軟體需求並創建使用案例
- 通過重構、單元測試和版本控制改進編程
