The book notes that a majority of \"new\" projects are actually replacements for legacy applications, illustrating that data mining for lost requirements should be a standard practice. Difficult social engineering issues are also covered, such as how to minimize harm from layoffs and downsizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSoftware Engineering Best Practices\u003c\/i\u003e explains how to effectively plan, size, schedule, and manage software projects of all types, using solid engineering procedures.
