All rights reserved. Chapter 1 C HAPTER 1 Preface SOFTWARE PROJECT MANAGEMENT is the art and science of planning and leading software projects. It requires knowledge of the entire software development lifecycle: defining the vision, planning the tasks, gathering the people who will do the work, estimating the effort, creating the schedule, overseeing the work, gathering the requirements, designing and pro- gramming the software, and testing the end product. Throughout the process, there are many team members who are responsible for these tasks; the project manager needs to have enough knowledge of their work to make sure the project is staying on track. To be effective, a project manager must have a wide range of expertise. In this book, we provide an introduction to all of these areas so that you can guide the rest of your team on their tasks. We help you run successful software projects, and we help you diagnose and fix the ones that have gone off track. Goals of the Book This is a practical book. This book describes the specific tools, techniques, and practices that a project manager needs to put in place in order to run a software project or fix an ail- ing one. A project manager can use this book to diagnose and fix the most serious prob- lems that plague software projects. It contains essential project management tools, techniques, and practices, which have been optimized to be as straightforward and easy to ix implement as possible. It also contains advice for avoiding the problems that a project manager will typically encounter when bringing these tools into an organization. By the time you have read this book, you should be able to: • Define the scope of your project • Estimate the effort required to do the work and schedule your project • Conduct thorough reviews of documents and code • Gather software requirements and create specifications • Effectively manage the design, programming, and testing of the software • Provide guidance if your project runs into quality problems • Manage an outsourced project • Make effective changes to the way projects are run in your organization We have been researching and implementing these tools, techniques, and practices throughout our combined careers. Each of them is the culmination of years of trial and error in many different organizations across multiple industries. Every one of these prac- tices is the solution to a specific, chronic problem. Many people opt to live with the prob- lem, because the solution seems too complicated. Our ultimate goal in writing this book is to help you build better software. Often, the original idea (before we optimized it) came from a book that we read to solve a specific problem that we encountered on a software project (just like you are doing right now!). References to some of the books that we found most helpful appear in the text in order to help you learn more. Who Should Read This Book Many software organizations have trouble delivering high-quality software on time. Most of them have talented team members; almost all of them realize that there is a problem. People in these organizations may have already read books about management, quality, and programming. What all of these people have in common is a need to change the way a software organization works. They may not always recognize the nature of the problem, or what is causing delays or bugs. What they do know is that something needs to change. We wrote this book for anyone in a software organization where there are chronic prob- lems producing software on schedule and without defects. The intended readers of this book include: • A project manager responsible for a software development project and/or team • A programmer, designer, business analyst, architect, tester, or other member of a soft- ware team looking to improve the product he is working on x PREFACE • A quality assurance manager or team member who is attempting to implement defect prevention, or is responsible for establishing or improving an organization’s software process • A consultant hired to improve project management practices, software process, or over- all software quality in an organization • A project manager who has been put in charge of a project that has been outsourced Comments and Questions Please address comments and questions concerning this book to the publisher: O’Reilly Media, Inc. 1005 Gravenstein Highway North Sebastopol, CA 95472 (800) 998-9938 (in the United States or Canada) (707) 829-0515 (international or local) (707) 829-0104 (fax) We have a web page for this book, where we list errata, examples, and any additional information.

  • Comparative Analysis of SCM Tools and Coexistence with Agile Methodology
    Comparative Analysis of SCM tools and Coexistence with Agile Methodology Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of degree of Master of Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering Submitted By Satyam Gupta (801332022) Under the supervision of: Dr. (Mrs.) Rinkle Rani Assistant Professor COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT THAPAR UNIVERSITY PATIALA – 147004 July 2015 Training Certificate i ii Abstract Now days there are huge evolvement in the field of IT, where people can control and manage their software development according to their need or requirement. The IT organizations need to produce quality product with the most economical and timely efficient way. To achieve this goal there are requirement of various software disciplines collaboration, Software Configuration Management (SCM) is one of the important discipline. With the help of SCM developers can manage different software artifacts. SCM is a tool based approach; SCM tools provide a great interface to reduce developer overhead. Various tools are available in the market. All these tools have their own functionality and capability. The involvement of Agile Methodology has facilitated developers to manage the product cycle timely and the use of SCM has made the management easier. This thesis explains two case studies; in the first part practical and relevant comparison among three Software Configuration Management tools namely Clearcase, Subversion and GIT has been done. The second part explains the coexistence of Agile and SCM practices which is usually considered as irrational. The research also focuses on the benefits from the user point of view and its role in improving the organizational capability.

  • Open Source Version Control Software
    DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING Vili Seppänen Open Source Version Control Software Bachelor’s Thesis Degree Programme in Computer Science and Engineering March 2015 Seppänen V. (2015) Open Source Version Control Software. University of Oulu, Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Bachelor’s Thesis, 22 p. ABSTRACT The environment around open source version control software is very opinionated and therefore it is hard to find unbiased comparison between different open source version control software. This Bachelor’s thesis provides background and covers the basics of version control systems. Thesis also categorizes and differentiates the main types of version control systems, by investigating the way they handle repositories and by categorizing them to centralized and distributed. Finally, this thesis provides the unbiased technical comparison of the selected open source version control software and a way to map a suitable one for a software project. Comparison of technical details is collected into tables for easy interpretation and the main differentiators are explained more carefully. Mapping is achieved by pairing the major characteristics of different software projects with the technical features of version control systems and then with version control software that best supports these specific features. Pairing of the software project and the version control software is further refined with technical details that are not covered by the needs of major characteristics of the software project. Selection of the open source version control software is restricted to the four most popular ones. Keywords: CVS, Subversion, Git, Mercurial Seppänen V.
