This is one of if not the best book around on the issue of Software Quality, and not a mention of
ISO 9000 anywhere. Weinberg has taken much of the work of Edward Deming and applied it to the problem
of Managing Software Development. The book is well written with an entertaining style, it makes easy
reading of an often turgid subject. In fact if you are going to be a project manager or be the victim
of one, then you should read all four volumes of this series.

I keep buying this book and people keep stealing it off me, that more then anything else says how good a book. ***** a 5 * by far.

I was recommended to read this book by Mark Barker (an associate of Parity Training) in 1999, after 10 years or so working experience. To say that scales fell from my eyes would be an understatement! Some of the concepts were familiar to me in a slightly different context (e.g. feedback) but Jerry does a superb job of applying some of these techniques in context.
If you've been in "the business" for any length of time you'll also chuckle at your own stupidity when Jerry talks about issues that we've all handled wrongly in the past.

The IT business has a bad track record of delivering quality software. Did you ever ask yourself these 2 questions?
- How do I manage Quality?
- How do I manage Quality Software?
I like the way Weinberg teaches you how to think about our business. He starts with software culture patterns. The patterns alone are worht buying the book, you will have many AHA!-moments. Very usefull is how you are supposed to think, not linear but in term's of cause and effect. The book contains lots of cause-effect diagrams.
Just buy the book, it's great value for money.
