This book was conceived when Pramod Bhatt challenged Naresh if there is another book hiding in his heart after we had already co-authored three editions of a book on Cloud Computing with Security and Scalability.1
We reckoned that nowadays software development is Cloud based and happens across geographies. We discussed the idea of capturing this new norm in a book. Both of us have somewhat complimentary backgrounds but share many common experiences. As an academic, Pramod Bhatt has been extensively using and promot¬ing Agile, TDD, and DevOps with his students and the companies that he has con¬sulted. Naresh K. Sehgal, as an engineer had worked for over three decades at Intel and used Agile and DevOps and managed Cloud-based operations across geogra¬phies. We agreed to co-author this book to capture the gist of what we have learned and assimilated over the several decades of our careers.
There are numerous books and papers on Agile programming, decomposition methods using software engineering methodologies, team dynamics, and project management to execute complex projects. Although there are publications about outsourcing, insourcing, and working with remote teams, there is still a dearth of knowledge on the complexity of managing Cloud software projects that encompass both hardware and software elements and are executed by teams spread across mul¬tiple remote geographies. This is not to suggest that such projects do not exist, but the knowledge to execute them has not been codified. It is somewhat of a black art depending on the skills of the leaders and program/project managers to ensure that such projects stay on the course, and within the budget to deliver the desired results. This book reviews the current state of the art in the management of Cloud-based software projects and then exposes the readers to real-life examples to cull out guidelines and rules that can be then applied to other such projects.
The book begins by asking an innocuous question: what is a project? Then delves into Cloud Project Management (CPM) and how that may differ from other software projects in-house. We explain how to prepare a business case for doing a CPM. Finance is indeed the horse that drives the cart to deliver any successful proj-ect. That is necessary, but clearly not sufficient. Many human elements are needed so we explain the roles and responsibilities for executing a CPM. Next, we dwell upon traditional software development methods and contrast these with Agile and DevOps. Topics ranging from budgeting, estimating, monitoring, and Service Level Agreements (SLA) are dealt with in a fair extent of details for the practitioners to succeed in delivering a CPM. This book should be quite useful for the students of software engineering and information systems management and also for the practi¬tioners of the Cloud-based project management.
A book that covers the practice of executing projects, an ounce of real-experience may triumph over tons of theory. With that in mind we include several examples of Cloud-based project case studies in this book. A special focus is placed on the regu¬lations for medical mobile applications. This is because healthcare is very important for the survival of humanity.
We wrap up the book with some rules of thumb for success in executing Cloud-based projects in general and those that are executed across geographies in particular.
We do hope you will enjoy and benefit from reading this book, as much as we enjoyed writing it. With many thanks for choosing to read it. We are looking for¬ward to your feedback.
