Trendowicz and Jeffery present a comprehensive look at the principles of software effort estimation and support software practitioners in systematically selecting and applying the most suitable effort estimation approach. Their book not only presents what approach to take and how to apply and improve it, but also explains why certain approaches should be used in specific project situations. Moreover, it explains popular estimation methods, summarizes estimation best-practices, and provides guidelines for continuously improving estimation capability. Additionally, the book offers invaluable insights into project management in general, discussing issues including project trade-offs, risk assessment, and organizational learning. Overall, the authors deliver an essential reference work for software practitioners responsible for software effort estimation and planning in their daily work and who want to improve their estimation skills. At the same time, for lecturers and students the book can serve as the basis of a course in software processes, software estimation, or project management. 606 $aSoftware engineering 606 $aManagement information systems 606 $aComputer science 606 $aProject management 606 $aSoftware Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14029 606 $aManagement of Computing and Information Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24067 606 $aProject Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/515020 606 $aSoftware Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/522050 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 615 0$aManagement information systems. 615 0$aComputer science. 615 0$aProject management. 615 14$aSoftware Engineering. 615 24$aManagement of Computing and Information Systems. 615 24$aProject Management. 615 24$aSoftware Management. 676 $a004 676 $a005.1 676 $a005.3068 676 $a005.74 700 $aTrendowicz$b Adam$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0945790 702 $aJeffery$b Ross$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298561303321 996 $aSoftware Project Effort Estimation$92135959 997 $aUNINA
