Productivity Management: Keane's Project Management Approach for Systems Development

This is a book about managing software development projects. It is not one person's view from academia, but rather an accumulation of knowledge earned the hard way - through real-life experience, based on delivering tens of thousands of software development projects. Project Management is not a rigid system of rules and requirements, but rather a set of guidelines and principles that can be adopted to match any of the unforeseen circumstances that invariably arise during software development projects. This book describes the basics of project management, devoting a chapter to each of the six PM principles. The lessons contained within are powerful, yet intentionally simple. They are meant to be easily understood, remembered and applied. - Times change, but the basics don't. A book as useful in 2015 as it was in 1995.
