Product Description
The increasing popularity of object-oriented
programming languages, design methods, database managers, and other technologies has challenged
software development project managers with a new set of rules. Project managers need to reexamine their standard methods for planning and controlling projects to adapt to the new rules for development. This book combines the perspectives of project management and systems theory to provide a unique look at managing object-oriented projects.
software engineers and project managers working with object technology will obtain essential tools for managing any
software project and will learn how to apply those tools specifically to managing object-oriented
software projects.
This guidebook provides an integrated, cohesive system of project management that aligns directly with the technology it manages. Organized into self-contained sections, this book permits you to access the project management objects you need. In addition, it provides examples of what to do and what not to do using real-life examples from the author's experience.
+ Provides the methods necessary to productively manage object-oriented
software development
+ Contains real-world examples that illustrate how all of the different objects work
+ Consists of self-contained sections that can be referred to when the reader requirements information regarding a specific aspect of project management

Reader Reviews
This is an odd book. The author attempts to explain OO development management by creating an object model of the concepts within the development process. It is an intriguing idea, but it doesn't work. The object model provides no insight that I can see to the development process, and it makes it painful to read, even when he is explaining simple situations. The one valuable part is the detailed review of other process methods (e.g. SEI's). But that alone was not worth the price, at least for this reader.
