There are nearly unlimited sources of information about managing software projects. Some good, some poor, some absolute crap, some exceptional.
If you want to start with the exceptional, start with The Data & Analysis Center for Software.
Here's why:
- The development and deployment of software intensive systems in the defense industry has many problems. But the difference is, this domain actually spends millions of dollars and untold hours trying to figure out how to improve the situation. Not always with success, but there is a dedicated effort to make improvements.
- The notion that simple and straight forward solutions to complex problems is naive at best.
- Data talks and BS walks, is the stand phrase in a military organization.
