By bringing together various current direc­tions, Software Project Management in a Changing World focuses on how people and organizations can make their processes more change-adaptive. The selected chapters closely correspond to the project management knowledge areas introduced by the Project Management Body of Knowledge, including its extension for managing software projects.

The contributions are grouped into four parts, preceded by a general introduction. Part I Fundamentals provides in-depth insights into fundamental topics including resource allocation, cost estimation, and risk management. Part II Supporting Areas presents recent experiences and results related to the management of quality systems, knowledge, product portfolios, and glob­al and virtual software teams. Part III New Paradigms details new and evolving software-development practices including agile, distributed, and open and inner-source development. Finally, Part IV Emerging Techniques introduces search-based tech­niques, social media, software process simulation and the efficient use of empirical data, and their effects on software-management practices.
