Unit 12, project management

A lot of reading. I found the ones by Cervone were the best. They seemed to be similar to what we were doing at my previous job, especially the Standard Methodology one. We did assess risk of each defect: customer impact number = probability times severity. Would have to sign off on release of known defects that were above a certain customer impact number. Also, the 'what not to do' one. it is easy to get in the habit of not doing things you know you should be doing. That one is a wake up call. Project management was becoming a big deal where I used to work, so much so that writing software was starting to be considered grunt work, although if you don't have experience doing it, you are going to run into a lot of problems. There has got to be a balance. From a library project point of view, that is not something to be focused on, though. That is the vendor's responsibility.
