SynopsisThis bestselling book is a practical guide to improving the software development and maintenance process. Emphasis is placed on the basic principles and priorities of the software process. Sections are organized in a natural way for managers and professionals to implement improvement activities., Watts S. Humphrey, drawing on years of experience at IBM and the SEI, provides practical guidance for improving the software development and maintenance process. He focuses on understanding and managing the software process because this is where he feels organizations now encounter the most serious problems, and where he feels there is the opportunity for significant improvement. Both program managers and practicing programmers, whether working on small programs or large-scale projects, will learn how good their own software process is, how they can make their process better, and where they need to begin.
