Past experience with the development of software products indicates that there is much scope for improvement. Being design intensive, software projects run the risk of cost/schedule overruns besides remaining off the mark in satisfying the customers. The blame for the failures is very often attributed to inadequate project management rather than lack of competence in development. With the growth in the size and complexity of software projects and the corresponding design and development effort involved, the importance of formal software project management cannot be overemphasized. This book, in its second edition, comprehensively presents the essentials of theory and practice of software project management methodologies. The aim is to introduce the readers to the subject in a conceptual framework. The topics included in this edition are updated as per the ongoing trends in the field of software project management. There is an appendix on Metrics and Measurements. This title includes a list of abbreviations at the beginning of chapters. The book is well-suited for teaching an academic course of one semester or for conducting short training programmes for software engineers and project managers. Armed with updated concepts and ideas, software engineers and project managers will be able to plan every aspect of a project to ensure its timely implementation within the stipulated budget and required quality standards.

This book focuses on providing information on project management specific for software implementations within the healthcare industry. It can be used as a beginners’ guide as well as a reference for current project managers who might be new to software implementations. Utilizing the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) methodology, the defined process groups and knowledge areas will be defined related to implementing custom and Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) software. The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a standard for developing custom software, but can also be followed for implementing COTS applications as well. How will the system be set-up from an architecture and hardware standpoint? What environments will be needed and why? How are changes managed throughout the project and after? These questions and more will be reviewed. The differences between types of testing are defined as well as when each are utilized. Planning for the activation and measuring the success of the project and how well the strategic need has been met are key activities that are often not given the time and effort to plan as the other parts of the implementation project. This new edition updates the current content to better align with the newest version of the PMI’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), the latest technology and concepts. In addition, this new edition includes additional chapters covering security and privacy, contract management and system selection and transition to support.

Designed for graduate, advanced undergraduate, and practitioner project management courses with an information technology focus, Methods of IT Project Management is designed around the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), incorporating material from the latest seventh edition while still maintaining the book’s process approach. The text provides students with all the concepts, techniques, artifacts, and methods found in the leading project management reference books and modern development methodologies (agile, hybrid, and traditional), while also conveying practical knowledge that can immediately be applied in real-world settings. Unlike other books in this area, the material is organized according to the sequence of a generic project life cycle—from project selection to initiation, planning, execution, control, and iteration or project closeout. Following this life-cycle approach, as opposed to covering the material by knowledge area or project performance domain, allows new learners to simultaneously study project management concepts and methods as they develop skills they can use immediately during and upon completion of the course. The text’s structure also allows different programs to use the book during real-world student projects.
