Paul Rook

Abstract

In recent years the software industry has seen the increasing imposition of structure and discipline on technical development activities in an attempt to improve the efficiency of software development and the reliability of the software produced. The clear emphasis in the modern approach to software engineering is to focus attention on the overall development process and the co-ordination all aspects of software development. This paper examines the principles of managing and successfully controlling software development from a software engineering basis.
