Klappentext zu „Managing Your Software Project “
About this Book I wrote this book to help students who are about to start their first project. It provides guidance on how to organise your work so that you achieve your agreed objective. The advice is based on experience gained from supervising more than 50 successful student projects, in both engineering and computer science, during the last 10 years. Projects have varied in duration from 120 hour final year undergraduate projects, through 800 hour MSc projects and up to 5000 hour PhD student research projects. It is my experience that almost all students have the technical background, to a greater or lesser extent, to complete their assigned project but that a disappointingly large number lack the basic organisational framework. Once they are introduced to the rudiments of project management then they are better equipped to control their own progress. They can also concentrate their efforts more effectively on the technical challenges which they will inevitably meet. Of courseyou can improve your skills solely on the basis of personal experience but you are more likely to achieve your objectives, in a timely manner, with the help of an experienced guide. That is what I have tried to include within this book. It contains advice on how to solve some of the organisational challenges common to all projects so that you can successfully complete your project.
Undertaking a software project is an essential part of many undergraduate degrees in computer science and related disciplines. Based on his own experience of supervising student projects over the last 10 years, Ian Ricketts has produced a readable and ac cessible text which provides a practical guide for students embarking on a project. Useful pointers are given on how to deal with organisational challenges common to most projects as well as advice on how to deal with the unexpected. Topics covered include: planning; requirements analysis; structure; time management skills; research ski lls; practical tools etc. Lots of examples are provided throughout and students will find that a careful reading of this book will greatly enhance their chances of creating a successful software project.
