A Manager's Guide to Software Engineering

For over a decade, Roger Pressman's books on software engineering have been setting standards for the technical community. In his latest book, he addresses the needs and concerns shared by today's IS managers. A Manager's Guide to Software Engineering uses a unique question-and-answer format coupled with pragmatic advice to help readers understand answers to four important project management questions: What is software engineering? How do we manage the changes that are required to make it work? How can we use it to manage projects more effectively? What do we have to know about its technological components to manage it effectively? In answering these questions, Pressman goes into great detail explaining how software engineering methods, metrics, and CASE can be implemented to properly manage the software development process.
