Features: Microsoft's software products hold a significant share in the global market, and their user satisfaction has consistently remained at a high level. Microsoft's remarkable market success is closely tied to the effective software research and development management model adopted within the company. As a theory and methodology system that is both oriented towards software R&D practice and aligned with the company's business characteristics, Microsoft's R&D management model has gradually evolved and been refined over nearly 30 years of software R&D practice. This book takes this model as its primary subject of analysis, covering important components such as development process management, development team management, product quality management, and project risk management, which can serve as valuable references for most software enterprises and R&D management personnel. Subsequent chapters of the book will delve into the specific details of Microsoft's R&D management model, discussing topics such as development cycle models, software product planning, project management, and software testing. As a textbook using Microsoft's R&D management model as case material, it offers strong guidance on software development process management and is particularly suitable for use by students and faculty in software engineering programs.
