Software projects are notorious for coming in late and over budget. So just imagine how scared a new manager is when he or she is first assigned to manage a software project. Most of these newbie managers were never taught how to manage projects; they're mostly programmers by training. This book teaches road-tested best practices and then shows how to put them into practice using the most popular tool for managing small to medium projects--Microsoft Project 2000. Armed with this toolkit--which also includes numerous forms and checklists--the software manager can proceed with confidence to build software that meets user requirements and avoids scheduling bottlenecks and cost overruns.
