In his earlier book  the author developed concrete methods for managing software development and maintenance. These methods  now commonly practiced in industry  provide programmers and managers with specific steps they can take to evaluate and improve their software capabilities. In this new book  Humphrey scales those methods down to a personal level  helping software engineers develop the skills and habits needed to plan  track  and analyze large  complex projects. Humphrey and others have used material from this book to train professionals and students around the world in a projects-oriented software engineering course. First establishing the need for discipline in software engineering  and the benefits to practitioners of learning how to manage their personal software process  Humphrey then develops a model that they can use to monitor  test  and improve their work. Examples drawn from industry enhance the practical focus of the book  while project exercises give readers the opportunity to practice software process management as they learn it. Features: presents concepts and methods for a disciplined software engineering process; scales down industrial practices for planning  tracking  analysis  and defect management to fit the needs of small-scale program development; and shows how small project disciplines provide a solid base for larger projects.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648347824181,"sku":"ByrdShop_0201546108","price":21.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780201546101.jpg?v=1781716673","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-discipline-for-software-engineering-9780201546101","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
