Book description

Dynamic Software Development: Managing Projects in Flux defines the principles, practices, skills, and techniques needed to manage a dynamic development environment.

It helps managers to determine a strategic framework, ease workflow in the development environment, obtain funding and economic return, and implement leadership by consensus. Targeted at those who manage information systems, corporate information, and developers, the book features a section at the end of each chapter to help them apply and customize the recommended techniques to their specific organizations.
