Description

In Collaborative Web Development, author Jessica Burdman shares the successful secrets of managing a web project, including collaboration, communication, and budgeting. The book provides many case studies of both successful and unsuccessful Web sites, and will help web-project managers pick and manage their web teams so they can sell their projects and needs to executive managers. The ultimate goal of this book is to make a “level playing ground,” offering a similar vocabulary for developers, marketing people, and IT managers, so everyone is “bought in” to the Web project.
