Newly revised for 2001, this second edition of Richard Thayer's
popular, bestselling book presents a top-down, practical view of
managing a successful software engineering project. The book builds
a framework for project management activities based on the
planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling model.
Thayer provides information designed to help you understand and
successfully perform the unique role of a project manager.
This book is a must for all project managers in the software field.
The text focuses on the five functions of general management by
first describing each function and then detailing the project
management activities that support each function. This second
edition shows you how to manage a software development project,
discusses current software engineering management methodologies and
techniques, and presents general descriptions and project
management problems. The book serves as a guide for your future
project management activities. The text also offers students
sufficient background and instructional material to serve as a main
or supplementary text for a course in software engineering project
management.
Note: The 2001 revision includes a new Chapter 4 Introduction and a
new paper that replaces an older paper.
