Basically this is one of many books on software project management. However, it does have a few features that make it a standout in this category. One of the things that differentiate this book is the included software tools like Open Work Bench and version control software. While many project management books cover just management of the project from an internal perspective, this one includes management of the external factors with the client. For example they discuss the importance of setting up a liaison center as a primary contact point for the client and dealing with client dissatisfaction. It is obvious that the author has had some experience with project management from gathering client expectations through delivering the final product.
Some of the areas discussed include setting standards and guidelines, project specifications, development and testing, and requirements definition. He details some of the things that need to be captured up front for a successful project such as system context, operating environment, end-user services, supporting services, documentation, and maintenance.
