The unique APSEM content and pedagogy comprehensively covers principles and practices to equip IT professionals to become better and more effective team leaders and managers of Software Development.
In particular it treats software development processes as an economic and business operation where various functional disciplines of management come into play. Software Development Processes are, therefore, considered from multiple perspectives:

• Project Management dimension (process dynamics, effort estimation, resource optimization & quantitative techniques)
• Business dimension (software economics, project accounting percentage/completion method, project risk management)
• Quality dimension (quality principles & SEICMM, PCMM, CMMi)
• People dimension (team management, performance assessment, management of self)
• Integrative dimension (business opportunities & risk).
