4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection of articles, but needs an index, Oct 3 2000
This review is from: Software Engineering Project Management (Paperback)
This book is a collection of numerous classic articles on software project management. It is well organized and it is clear that a great deal of effort was put into identifying the best articles to include in this collection. The reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is for what it doesn't have -- an index! Without an index you will have a difficult time finding specific information without scanning many pages of text.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection!, Aug 28 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Software Engineering Project Management (Paperback)
This collection was so good that I went back and ordered the other two collections (Software Engineering and Software Requirements Engineering). For anybody who teaches Software Engineering or Project Management classes (or anybody wanting a broad knowledge of the subjects), these books are invaluable.
