Handbook on Software Engineering & Knowledge Engineering
important principles into the organization, in terms of very general statements of
what engineers do (e.g., software development follows a plan in accordance with
requirements, requirements are ranked according to cost-effectiveness and are
implemented incrementally, standards are used in development, design includes
fault- and failure-tolerance, and so on). The principles are consistent with the
capabilities that CMM recognizes as supportive of and important in the
development of high quality software.
However, it is important to stress that even if all of the important practices
and issues could be briefly covered here, software project management in reality
requires a more detailed insight into the practices themselves and many case
studies, as well as a lot of experience, judgment, and intuition. Experienced
managers always take the issues and practices reported in the open literature just
as rough guidelines and adapt them to the context of their current project. This
suggests an important general rule of thumb: best practices of software project
management are always those that can be applied to the system being built, the
technology the developers use, and the organization that develops the system.
