Programming management in the business management systems environment
From ninth AESOP meeting; San Francisco, California, USA (1 Oct 1973). The role of planning is emphasized as it embraces three areas of activity and performance necessary for effective management, namely: (1) the need for direct results, (2) commitment to building of values and their reaffirmation (applied directly to the data processing organization), and (3) building and developing people for tomorrow. The author then relates his approach to and understanding of the job of programming management, personnel aspects relating to management of the programming staff, organization of the programming department, and estimation and control of programming objects. In the conclusions two points are emphasized: (1) the professional manager should have a deep interest in his company and not just data-processing problems, and (2) being a program manager means you manage people, not programs.
