This essential textbook presents an overview of software project management in an ethical and responsible software engineering environment. The book covers the essentials of software project management, and highlights the importance of ethics and professional responsibility as part of the skill set of the modern project manager. Software engineering is the application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software; that is, the application of engineering to software, and the study of such approaches. Programmers are like engineers in that they build software products, and they therefore need education in traditional engineering as well as in the latest technologies. The education of a classical engineer includes product design and mathematics. However, often Computer Science education places an emphasis on the latest technologies, rather than on the important engineering foundations of designing and building high-quality products. Programmers therefore need to learn the key engineering skills to enable them to build products that are safe for the public to use. This includes a solid foundation on design and on the mathematics required for building safe software products.
