Software management through improved programming technology
F. T. Baker · 1975
Coming as I do from a large organization which competes for programming contracts and then performs them on a for-profit basis, the need to improve our management skills is especially apparent. In general, as we in the programming business discover how to manage contracts of a given size and complexity, the state of the art allows us to tackle even bigger and more difficult ones. And while some of our problems are those common to any sort of large project management, at least three key ones are peculiar to the programming project because of the way programming has been allowed (and even encouraged) to be done.
