This book is designed to help software engineers and project managers understand and solve the problems involved in developing complex software systems. It provides practical guidelines and tools for managing software engineering projects' technical and organizational aspects.

Part One explains the critical success factors for software and introduces methods, including:
Specification (using results-oriented quality and resource metrics
Finding and evaluating solutions.
Evolutionary planning and delivery inspection for quality and productivity.

Part Two provides detailed guidelines for implementing those methods, using a case study as an example throughout.

Part Three explains in detail how the methods can improve productivity, reliability, estimation, deadline pressure, and motivation. It concludes with a set of 'Software Engineering Templates' showing how to quantify software qualities and further case studies illustrating inspection experience and production planning.
