Interactive UML Development Using... | Buy

Emphasizes the practical issues of delivering a UML project, including how to model the business needs within the scope of a project and meet those needs with technology, and why it is important to focus on deliverables rather than on task-based project management techniques. Softcover. CD-ROM included. DLC: Microsoft visual BASIC.

Patrick W. Sheridan is an Engagement Manager with Stratagem, Inc. He has over 17 years of experience in software development and consulting, with a recent emphasis on building UML teams. Jean M. Sekula is a Project Manager with Stratagem, Inc. She has more than 18 years of experience in information technology and consulting, and is currently managing a multi-team OO project.
