Managing Software Crisis: A Smart Way to Enterprise Agility (Smart Innovation, Systems And Technologies #92)
by Sergey V. ZykovThis book discusses smart, agile software development methods and their applications for enterprise crisis management, presenting a systematic approach that promotes agility and crisis management in software engineering. The key finding is that these crises are caused by both technology-based and human-related factors. Being mission-critical, human-related issues are often neglected. To manage the crises, the book suggests an efficient agile methodology including a set of models, methods, patterns, practices and tools. Together, these make a survival toolkit for large-scale software development in crises. Further, the book analyses lifecycles and methodologies focusing on their impact on the project timeline and budget, and incorporates a set of industry-based patterns, practices and case studies, combining academic concepts and practices of software engineering.

Managing Software Supply Chains: Theory and Practice
by Ying Wang Zhiliang Zhu Shing-Chi Cheung Hai YuOpen-source software supply chains wield significant influence in the software industry, drawing substantial interest from enterprises, researchers, and policymakers. Leveraging third-party libraries to build software applications is a common practice aimed at cost savings and software quality enhancement. However, heavy reliance on external libraries often leads to a state of “dependency hell”, marked by issues like incompatibilities, conflicting versions, bloated dependencies, and the inclusion of vulnerable library versions. Despite extensive research on software dependency management and the evolution of software supply chains, questions linger regarding the variances in dependency challenges across programming language ecosystems and how best to address the dependency hell phenomenon from an ecosystem-wide perspective. The aim of this book is to offer: (1) a comprehensive literature review on software supply chains, (2) discussions on modeling software supply chains and analyzing their evolutionary behaviors, (3) ecosystem-level strategies for diagnosing various dependency issues and automating problem resolution with cost-benefit analysis, and (4) provision of a toolkit and datasets to support future research and assist practitioners in addressing the challenges of dependency management. The methodologies outlined in this book have been previously presented in top-tier conferences and journals, with some techniques officially integrated into products by Microsoft Corporation and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd. This book is designed to provide readers with a solid understanding of software supply chain fundamentals and practical guidance on implementing theory and techniques in real-world industrial settings. The book is chiefly intended for software engineering researchers and students with an academic background who are interested in learning about dependency management for third-party libraries, quality assurance for software supply chains, and the evolution of open-source software ecosystems. It will also be of interest to practitioners, including software engineers, quality assurance professionals, and software managers, as well as general readers. All will benefit from our systematic studies on the dependency hell phenomenon in various programming language communities and valuable associated artifacts.

Managing Stakeholders in Software Development Projects (Computer Weekly Professional Ser.)
by John McManusAs stakeholder relationships and business in general have become increasingly central to the unfolding of stakeholder thinking, important new topics have begun to take centre stage in both the worlds of practitioners and academics. The role of project management becomes immeasurably more challenging, when stakeholders are no longer seen as simple objects of managerial action but rather as subjects with their own objectives and purposes. This book will aim to explain some of the complexities of project management and managerial relationships with stakeholders by discussing the practice of stakeholder engagement, dialog, measurement and management and the consequences of this practice for reporting and productivity, and performance within project management.

Managing Your Data Science Projects: Learn Salesmanship, Presentation, and Maintenance of Completed Models
by Robert de GraafAt first glance, the skills required to work in the data science field appear to be self-explanatory. Do not be fooled. Impactful data science demands an interdisciplinary knowledge of business philosophy, project management, salesmanship, presentation, and more. In Managing Your Data Science Projects, author Robert de Graaf explores important concepts that are frequently overlooked in much of the instructional literature that is available to data scientists new to the field. If your completed models are to be used and maintained most effectively, you must be able to present and sell them within your organization in a compelling way.The value of data science within an organization cannot be overstated. Thus, it is vital that strategies and communication between teams are dexterously managed. Three main ways that data science strategy is used in a company is to research its customers, assess risk analytics, and log operational measurements. These all require different managerial instincts, backgrounds, and experiences, and de Graaf cogently breaks down the unique reasons behind each. They must align seamlessly to eventually be adopted as dynamic models.Data science is a relatively new discipline, and as such, internal processes for it are not as well-developed within an operational business as others. With Managing Your Data Science Projects, you will learn how to create products that solve important problems for your customers and ensure that the initial success is sustained throughout the product’s intended life. Your users will trust you and your models, and most importantly, you will be a more well-rounded and effectual data scientist throughout your career.Who This Book Is ForEarly-career data scientists, managers of data scientists, and those interested in entering the field of data science
