Produktbeschreibung

The book is about to explore the new aspects of Portfolio Cost Management (PCM) in the context of Offshore Software Development Outsourcing (OSDO), from the vendor's perspective. Before getting into the thick of the things, we discuss the documented facts about the software industry. It is documented that the globalization process has affected the software industry in the form of OSDO. Proper project management is a prominent factor in the success of OSDO relationships. Efficient project cost management is a key challenge for the software industry for the last few decades.
