Best Program Architecture Guide for Developers | Essential Software Design Principles & Patterns | Perfect for Coding Projects & System Planning

This book from SMA, a leading capture management and program support company, describes step by step, for the first time that I know of in book form, an integrated approach for organizing, planning, and conducting highly successful and efficient projects and programs. Various elements of this method have been documented separately for decades within the defense industry. This book articulates, in an easy-to-understand way, how these various elements are combined to create a truly integrated management and execution framework, using what SMA calls Program Architecture. It shows the interrelationships of requirements, product structure, integrated product teams, statements of work, plans, gate reviews, schedules, tracking measures, resources, processes, and dozens of other management and development operations needed to establish and conduct a successful and smoothly functioning team. It describes the approach to generate these elements that will mesh with most corporate practices, and how to link them together. From a few practitioners twenty years ago this approach has become standard practice in many companies. The authors of this book, SMA, have applied this winning approach to many industries and clients on $100,000 to multi-billion-dollar programs across finance, billing, software, Integrated Technology and computer delivery and services, communications, health care, space, and defense industries. Using the practices in this book a company can take a step up in the productivity and efficiency in their program implementations.
