Software Project Management: Methods and Techniques

軟體專案的管理已被證明是決定專案成功的首要因素。研究發現，53%的軟體專案失敗是由於管理不善所致。本書以兩種方式解決這個問題：解釋這個領域的原則，並提供基於事實的軟體專案管理資源。

Lawrence J. Peters has a B.S. in Physics, an M.S. in Engineering and in 2002 a Ph.D. in Engineering Management and a CSDP (Certified Software Development Professional). He has applied software engineering technology for more than 50 years in the aerospace, defense, financial, manufacturing and software engineering fields. He authored the first software engineering curriculum published by the ACM and has since developed and implemented software engineering curricula at three universities as well as the syllabus for software project management at three other universities. Throughout his career, he has been a thought leader in the field of software project management and has successfully managed and consulted on dozens of projects as large as $20 million. He currently teaches Software Project Management in English remotely at Universidad Politecnica de Madrid from his office near Seattle, Washington, and has taught that subject at other schools. He has published several papers on the subject.

Lawrence J. Peters擁有物理學學士學位、工程學碩士學位，並於2002年獲得工程管理博士學位和CSDP（認證軟體開發專業人員）。他在航空航天、國防、金融、製造和軟體工程領域應用軟體工程技術超過50年。他撰寫了ACM發表的第一份軟體工程課程，並在三所大學開發和實施了軟體工程課程，以及在另外三所大學編寫了軟體專案管理的教學大綱。在他的職業生涯中，他一直是軟體專案管理領域的思想領袖，成功地管理和諮詢了多個高達2000萬美元的專案。他目前在華盛頓州西雅圖附近的辦公室遠程以英語教授馬德里理工大學的軟體專案管理課程，並曾在其他學校教授該課程。他發表了幾篇有關該主題的論文。
