Our book recommendations on Software Project Management

Rapid Development: Taming Wild Software Schedules
Steve C McConnell, 1996

That book is not a complete development methodology on how everything must be done, but rather a loose collection of various practices that work. Its advise concentrates on software projects with tight schedules, and it is therefore especially relevant, since there are no software projects without tight schedule these days.

Better Software Project Management: A Primer for Success
Marsha D. Lewin, 2001

It is always satisfying to read a book, written by someone with hands-on experience, who also has the ability to explain why certain things have to be done. For a primer, this book is really extensive, and you will go a long way with what you learn here.

Managing Software Development Projects: Formula for Success
Neal Whitten, 1995

It is amazing to see how different the areas are, that authors of software project management books cover. This one deals in sufficient details with management issues such as customer and vendor relationship, dealing with people, and scheduling and tracking. The real software development related aspects are a bit short (despite the title). The result is, you have to read more than one book, and this should be one of them.

Software Project Management in Practice
Pankaj Jalote, 2002

This book is pretty much CMM based as opposed to all the others I-can-tell-you-what-works project management books. It is also an excellent example that these two approaches are not at all contradictory, because what you read here is going to work as well.
