Some Thoughts on Chapter 22

None of the important easy to see goals nor the problems of managing a software engineering project listed were surprising. We know by now that our projects are intangible, unique, and always changing, and actually doing what we say we will do is important to keeping customers happy. None of the responsibilities of the project manager were particularly surprising either.

That being said, risk management, managing people, and teamwork are all very important to the success of a software project. On some levels I feel like the management of people will lend itself to having certain elements of teamwork. Someone who is good at managing people is going to facilitate communication especially. While most of the important points in teamwork and people management seem obvious, they are obviously important and not always done correctly despite this.
