This text argues that the crucial factors in the successful implementation of CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) tools has more to do with management than technology. The book reflects upon a range of experience from organizations implementing software engineering methods and tools. Each chapter addresses an important management issue and illustrates the points made with case studies. This pragmatic approach should be of interest to all professionals and managers involved in software development, as well as students in advanced computing courses.

Part 1 The story so far: a brief history of software. Part 2 Where are we now?: the DTI SOLUTIONS programme (1989-1991); CASE usage in the UK, 1991. Part 3 Lessons for the future: methods come before tools; evolutionary not revolutionary change; people matter; consultants can help; the long term view; the problem with existing systems; serving the business needs; CASE is just part of the process; when it works; final thoughts.
