Introduction to Software Project Management – New Book published
by CRC Press
6 February 2014 – Florida, USA – CRC Press has announced the publication of a new
book titled Introduction to Software Project Management, by Adolfo Villafiorita. The
book provides the know-how to manage software projects effectively, and can help ensure
your software projects are delivered on time and under budget.
According to the CRC release: Introduction to Software Project
Management covers a broad range of techniques and supplies
alternatives to conventional methods. The book initially provides a
fundamental overview of project management techniques and the
technical aspects of software development. It supplies the
understanding of the techniques required to mitigate uncertainty in
projects and better control the complexity of software development
projects. It further illustrates the technical activities of software
development in a coherent process—describing how to customize it to
fit a wide range of software development scenarios.
Other features:

Examines project management frameworks and software development standards,
including ESA and NASA guidelines, PRINCE2®, and PMBOK®

Addresses open source development practices and tools so readers can adopt best
practices and get started with tools that are available for free

Explains how to tailor the development process to different kinds of products and
formalities, including the development of web applications

Includes access to additional material for both practitioners and teachers at

Supplying an analysis of existing development and management frameworks, the book
describes how to set up an open-source tool infrastructure to manage projects. Since
practitioners must be able to mix traditional and agile techniques effectively, the book
covers both and explains how to use traditional techniques for planning and developing
software components alongside agile methodologies. It does so in a manner that will help
you to foster freedom and creativity in assembling the processes that will best serve your
needs.
