Worldwide, the demand for software is increasing at a rapid pace, with no end in sight for this growth in appetite. The growth has spawned a dramatic increase in software development activity which, in turn, has sharpened the focus on the processes use for building software, collectively known as the software process. Although opinions differ on the nature and formality of the software process, there is now general agreement that use of proper processes is extremely important for an organization that seeks to deliver high-quality softwar...

The book includes 15 chapters. Chapter l gives a brief overview of the CMM and describes some organization-level support for processes at Infosys. The remaining chapters focus on project execution and are organized into three parts. Part I (Chapters 2 and 3) deals with processes that are executed before ale project formally commences. Part II (Chapters 4 through 10) deals with project planning activities. Part III (Chapters 11 through 15) examines project execution and termination. Most chapters focus on some key task in a project and have been kept as independent as possible of the other chapters.
