5.0 out of 5 stars Add this to your bookshelf, 18 Feb 1997
By A Customer
Gilb introduces three ideas that may not be new, but extremely useful for software projects. Evolutionary delivery, or delivering small parts all the time, while getting feedback; formal inspections, which will save time and hassle; attribute specifications, to help you set a clear goal. I guarantee that this book will see software in a fresh, new perspective!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but limited, 26 Jun 1998
By A Customer
Gilb covers only a small portion of "Software Engineering Management" in detail. Other important issues are either not addressed at all or receive only cursory treatment. Still, what it does go into depth about it usually well thought out and makes imminent sense. I'd say it's worth reading, but it may be a bit expensive for it's narrowness.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good discussion of evolutionary development, 19 May 1998
By A Customer
This book covers three main topics: evolutionary development, requirements management, and inspections. A good introduction to all three, but if you plan on trying evolutionary development, I also suggest reading the pertinent sections of Rapid Development by Steve McConnell.
