Specific Detail Info
This book explains how to manage large object-oriented (OO) software projects using the Unified Modeling Language (UML).
It focuses on planning, organizing, and tracking development through iterative and incremental methods rather than traditional waterfall models.
Cantor links UML artefacts—like use-case diagrams and models—to project management tasks, showing how they help define scope, track progress, and manage risk.
The book is divided into three parts:
Foundations – OO concepts, UML, and project planning.
Project Phases – Inception, Elaboration, Construction, Transition.
Management Tools – budgeting, metrics, and progress reviews.
It’s aimed at managers of large, long-term software projects and includes templates and examples, though some UML details are outdated (UML 1.1).
