Software Project Secrets-Why Software Project Fail

Abstract

"Software Project Secrets is the first book to analyze a factor that has so far been overlooked--the project management methodology itself--to find out how it creates problems for software development projects. The book uncovers ten hidden assumptions in project management that aren't valid for software development. It shows how these assumptions can cause projects to fail. ... We're left with one key problem. How do we make sure that our projects finish on time and under budget? This book brings together seven techniques that can help you create a realistic plan and then stick to it."--Page 4 of cover.
