| Details : For many engineering and other projects, software has become the pivotal part: it controls generation and distribution of electricity; water purification and distribution; robotic systems in production plants; vehicles, their engines, and traffic flows; household equipment; aircraft, air traffic, and passenger bookings; telecommunications; logistics; spacecraft and space missions, etc., etc. Software also plays an ever-increasing role in business management: it controls equipment maintenance management, logistics, resource allocations, business processes, financial transactions, accounting, communication, human resources, etc.
Because of software's growing importance, its development must be managed even more carefully than other areas of large projects. Software development has grown from an art, to a craft, to a proper engineering discipline. Merging the application of structured engineering with that of disciplined project management for software development, results in the concept 'software engineering project management' - and that is the focus of this E-Book. |
