<p>Learn best practices for software development project management—and lead your teams and projects to success. Dr. Lawrence Peters is an industry-recognized expert with decades of experience conducting research and leading real-world software projects. Beyond getting the best developers, equipment, budget, and timeline possible—Peters concludes that no factor is more critical to project success than the manager’s role. Drawing on proven practices from allied industries such as business, psychology, accounting, and law, he describes a broader project-management methodology—with principles that software managers can readily adapt to help increase their own effectiveness and the productivity of their teams. Unlike other books on the topic, this book focuses squarely on the manager—and shows how to get results without adopting philosophies from Genghis Khan or Machiavelli. (There is mention of Godzilla, however.) Packed with real-world examples and pragmatic advice, this book shows any software development manager—new or experienced—how to lead teams in delivering the right results for their business.</p>

Utilizing more than 36 years experience in this field, Dr. Peters demonstrates how to be successful in the software field. He focuses on what the industry has cited for 25 years as the key to success – management.  He does this by presenting a unique set of the latest and most effective techniques adapted from business, psychology, engineering, accounting, law and other fields which contribute to bringing projects in on time, on budget and exceeding client expectations.

The book takes a process modeling view of software project management, avoiding the pitfalls of the recipe style treatment found elsewhere.  The book is laden with real world examples, process models, lessons learned and problem solving principles.  The book begins with the basics of software project management then goes well beyond them by introducing and demonstrating advanced methods for successfully managing software projects.
