The ostensible purpose of this book is to introduce a particular parametric estimation method to software project managers. Along the way, it carefully explains the relationships among functionality/scope, duration, effort, and product quality. These are the most important relationships in managing something that is invisible -- until the end.
Several aspects distinguish this work from others on the same subject:
1. It is aimed at development managers.
2. The math is presented quickly and clearly, and is not a prerequisite for understanding the rest of the content. The book emphasizes the nature of the relationships as opposed to requiring a numerical or quantitative formula.
3. It is action-oriented: it helps managers how to achieve their project goals.
