Explains what additional management activities must take place in organizations with a multi-project environment
Discusses how inspection results and testing metrics can be used to monitor project status
Describes techniques to help manage inherent risks in software-based product development

Each chapter is accompanied by a case study based on an actual situation with which the author is familiar; this gives the reader experience in doing the management work. The author teaches readers how to use their own experience to improve the way they manage projects and provides a method for reviewing successes and failures to help increase their capabilities in the future.
