We are pleased that prior editions have been so well received and that many individuals and programs have worked hard to implement the principles contained therein. These users also repeatedly requested a more streamlined version of the content. Our goal for this project has been to provide a usable desk reference that would give a brief but effective overview of important software acquisition and development topics, provide checklists for rapid selfinspection, and provide pointers to additional information on the topics covered. NOTE: The Word file "GSAM Handbook Checklist" is included in all the zip files.
