The Concise Reads Management Series gives us some of the important tools in the management tool belt including problem solving, communicating, and building a team. The guides are concise on purpose and should take you no more than an hour or so to read but the principles within them take weeks and months to master. These are essential principles to find success as a manager or leader and therefore it is important that you absorb them and turn them into habits. Agile Software Development: It wasn't until 2001 when seventeen software developers met at the Snowbird resort in Utah and put ...

Every software project carries a quiet, persistent anxiety: the fear that something has been missed. A feature quietly broken. An edge case never tested. A handoff poorly documented. The consequences range from embarrassing to catastrophic — and yet, in project teams around the world, testing documentation remains the discipline most likely to be improvised, deferred, or quietly abandoned under deadline pressure. Software Test Plans: A How-To Guide for Project Staff exists to close that gap. Grounded in the rigorous framework of IEEE Standard 829 — the gold standard for software test ...

Every software project eventually arrives at the same uncomfortable moment: the product is built, the deadline is looming, and someone looks up from their keyboard and says, "Oh — we'll need a manual." What follows is usually a disaster. A programmer's technical notes get processed through a word processor, repackaged with a title page, and handed to users who flip through it once, set it on a shelf, and never touch it again. The software fails not because it doesn't work, but because nobody can figure out how to use it. Software User Documentation is the guide that prevents that outcome....

This book provides a step by step guide to all the processes, goals, inputs, outputs and many other aspects of a repeatable software methodology for ANY project. From “soup to nuts” … the whole shebang ~! All in one place at an incredible price…. over 110 pages of knowledge. Any information technology organization must have a highly structured framework into which it can place processes, principles, and guidelines. The framework used for software development is a called a lifecycle. The software development lifecycle (SDLC) defines a repeatable process for building information ...

**Corrected fourth edition** As some readers noted, there was a problem in the formatting of the third edition. Those are fixed now. Sorry for the trouble. Are you taking on the role of an Agile Product Owner? Looking to learn how to be a great one? Look no further... Thousands of books have been written about Agile software development and Agile project management. In nearly every one of these books, mention is made of the importance of the product owner, and how without this third piece to the puzzle the whole scheme falls apart. In fact, some of the literature will tell you that if you ...

Feeling overwhelmed by everything instructional design now demands, from tight timelines, collaborating with SMEs to evolving tech, and high expectations? Instructional design is no longer just about knowing theories and practices. It’s about leading people, managing timelines, handling competing priorities, and delivering quality under pressure. Yet, most instructional designers are never taught how to manage projects, navigate stakeholders, or steer course builds through uncertainty.

Few books in computing have had as profound an influence on software management as "peopleware". The unique insight of this longtime best seller is that the major issues of software development are human, not technical. They’re not easy issues; but solve them, and you’ll maximize your chances of success. For this third edition, the authors have added six new chapters and updated the text throughout, bringing it in line with today’s development environments and challenges.

Microsoft project veteran Scott Berkun offers a collection of essays on field-tested philosophies and strategies for defining, leading, and managing projects. Each essay distills complex concepts and challenges into practical nuggets of useful advice, and the new edition now adds more value for leaders and managers of projects everywhere.  

Every software project that has ever slipped its deadline, bloated its budget, or shipped with embarrassing defects has one thing in common: someone, somewhere, lost control of change. A line of code was altered without authorisation. A specification diverged silently from the product it described. A version was released that no one could fully account for. Configuration management — unglamorous, procedural, indispensable — is the discipline that prevents all of this. And yet it remains one of the least understood and most frequently neglected practices in software development. Software...

"IT Project Management" is a comprehensive, university-level textbook meticulously crafted for the next generation of technology leaders. It is designed for computer science and information technology curricula, providing a rigorous and uniquely practical exploration of IT project management principles by placing software—its design, architecture, and development—at the very heart of the discipline. This text fundamentally repositions the subject from a business process to a software engineering challenge. It provides a rigorous and practical exploration of IT project management ...

Engineering isn’t broken because people stopped caring. It’s broken because product thinking got lost. In a world where shipping is fast but impact is rare, Product Driven offers a new model for engineering leadership. One built on outcomes, not output. If you’ve ever led a software team and wondered why the work feels disconnected, why your best engineers start coasting, or why everything still flows through you no matter how senior your team gets, this book is your roadmap out.

Between the requirements document and the first line of production code, there is a critical moment of translation. Someone — an architect, a senior developer, a designer — must take the abstract statement of what a system must do and convert it into a precise, structured description of how it will actually work. That document is the Software Design Description. And without a rigorous guide to writing one, the translation can go badly wrong. Software Design Descriptions: A How-To Guide for Project Staff is that guide. Grounded in IEEE Standard 1016, the internationally recognised ...

Every failed software project has a confession buried somewhere in its post-mortem. It usually reads something like this: we didn't really understand what the users needed. Or: the requirements kept changing. Or, most damningly of all: we built exactly what they asked for, and it wasn't what they wanted. Requirements failure is the original software sin. It is the problem that sits upstream of every other problem — the miscommunication that multiplies across months of development, compounding silently until it erupts at delivery, when it is far too late and far too expensive to fix. ...

Requirements Engineering (RE) is a core discipline of Software Engineering, and the most overlooked. Requirements work is the basis for all other software development disciplines. A requirement failure has a cascading impact on the project. The PMI states that poor requirements management is the main cause of project failure. This book introduces Requirements Engineering from a practical perspective, with exercises and case studies. The content was prepared from the authors' practical experience and industry references such as the PMBOK, the BABOK, and all the content of the IREB CPRE-FL (...
