Riassunto

• For IS (Information Systems) managers and engineers and anyone in the governmental and commercial sectors responsible for software productivity and quality and project planning and budgeting.

Make software reuse a profitable reality in your organization.

In Managing Software Reuse, expert Wayne C. Lim tackles the strategic planning, economic, organizational, and metric issues that limit reuse in so many companies. He covers the entire lifecycle, offering "best practices" strategies that really work, and sharp insights into the organizational issues that make or break reuse projects.

Managing Software Reuse shows exactly how to:

• Utilize an adoption model to systematically institutionalize reuse.
• Select pilot projects that pave the way for wide deployment of reuse.
• Perform a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether reuse is economically viable.
• Harness the potential of software reuse to obtain competitive advantage.
• Create a reuse vision and mission statement to guide reuse efforts.
• Organize, train, and motivate your staff to support reuse.
• Identify and implement appropriate reuse metrics.
• Select the appropriate reuse tools for your organization.

If you want proven strategies for implementing reuse in every stage of the software development cycle, this book is required reading.
