Features: The purpose of this book is to help individuals or teams manage software development projects. This is a challenging task because every project has its own characteristics, with many variables that are constantly changing. The three major factors influencing a project are people, technology, and processes. If you learn how to manage them effectively, you may achieve success regardless of what happens around you. This work is generally interesting, and we try to convey some of that enjoyment through the solutions we provide for certain project management challenges. If you are already a project management leader or a leader of a development team, or if you have chosen project management as a lifelong career, then anti-patterns will be very relevant to you. This book can serve as both a guide and a reference for project management. Using it from a strategic perspective will help you avoid repeating common mistakes in the process of software project management, while tactically, it will enable you to and your project to move beyond the shadows of existing errors. The book comprehensively examines common and recurring project management issues in software development projects, using anti-pattern techniques to clearly define them and explain how to avoid and prevent these problems from arising.
