An Introduction to Management of Weapons System Software Development.
Abstract
The purpose of this study project is to apply the education the author has received at the Defense Systems Management School to the process of Management of Software Development. The specific goals of the teaching paper are: (1) to provide an overview of computers and software (Section II), (2) to describe the Software Development Cycle (Section III), (3) to describe management techniques within the Software Development Cycle (Section IV), (4) to cover some related subjects (Section V), and (5) to summarize the key points of successful management of software development (Section VI). This paper is important not only to the author (who is a manager of software development activities), but to DoD Program Managers who find themselves in the position of managing software development activities. This teaching paper is designed primarily for the reader who is unfamiliar with software and the successful production of software. Where possible, THE DoD weapons system acquisition environment is employed for comparative examples. (Author)
