A proposed curriculum for software engineering project management process, product and people
We propose a curriculum for software engineering project management. For each major topic, we identify useful starting points for study, plus relevant resources and standards, including resources available electronically. We adapt Bush and Fenton's (1990) classification of the software engineering domain whereby we can describe all entities to be managed in a software project as being either process, product, or people. This provides a useful framework for consideration of software project management topics. The curriculum is presented according to the following format: area (process, product, people), major topic, sub-topic, priority (essential, desirable, optional), relevant resources.
ABSTRACTBackground: Although it is generally presumed that experienced clinicians are capable of making reasonable decisions concerning rehabilitation potential, inexperienced clinicians may expend efforts and resources somewhat unproductively in managing patients with nonprogressive neurological conditions such as stroke. Clinicians with varied experience may also be influenced by extraneous factors least likely to contribute to an effective admission and treatment planning. Purpose: We report a process for efficient utilization of resources to maximize outcome following stroke rehabilitation. Description: A care planning process with distinctive features of patient profiling, treatment tracking, and outcome staircasing was developed and utilized in the subacute stroke management of African American stroke survivors in an inpatient facility in New York. Outcome of stroke rehabilitation care were compared before and after the implementation of the process using Functional Independence Measures (FIM) score...
