"In the first edition, published in 1992, we declared that product development would be the industrial battleground of the 1990s and into the next century, just as manufacturing was the industrial battleground of the 1970s and 1980s." Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars
One for your reference library,
By A Customer
This review is from: Setting the PACE in Product Development: A Guide to Product and Cycle-time Excellence (Paperback)
I think this is THE book on Software Project and Product Management. In-depth coverage of the Core Team approach and explanation of why Core Team is better than other current development methods such as functional or cross-functional teams. This is a great reference book, one every manager should have on his desk. Only thing I didn't like was this new version is paper-back, I liked the hard-backs for books I intend to keep and use. Excellent book !

An essential read for any Product Manager,
By Waynster "wayne5674" (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Setting the PACE in Product Development: A Guide to Product and Cycle-time Excellence (Paperback)
Wow...fantastic is about all I can say. Brilliantly clear and simple read, very "hi-tech company focused", but 100% accurate...this really will put many companies to shame if they examined themselves after reading it...I just wish I could do a "jerry maguire" and give a copy of this to all of our senior management.

Vague, advertisement for a consulting service....,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Setting the PACE in Product Development: A Guide to Product and Cycle-time Excellence (Paperback)
My company decided to adopt PACE, and plopped this book down in front of all the engineers. It caused more chaos than we had when we started. The book describes several teams, but neglects to describe how to select the team members, how to get them to be effective in their jobs, or even what there exact team responsibilities might be, other than to do "in depth analysis". Fine, but what does *that* mean. Oh, you're supposed to hire the authors to come in and consult with your company and develop another document that describes this. Sorry, this is a non-starter.

Waterfall Method Revisited for Software Development,
By Lee C. Harrison "leehar" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Setting the PACE in Product Development: A Guide to Product and Cycle-time Excellence (Paperback)
This guide can be very misleading for those working in the software development world. Apply this method to Software Engineering, and you are revisiting the old Waterfall Method of software development. In today's E-commerce and e-Enterprise worlds, this is not a good place to visit for long. I would only recommend this to folks developing products in a manufacturing environment. However, Phase 0 Reviews could be a very useful tool on an executive level as a Project Methodology for initiating and prioritizing software development projects and ensuring a product's overall strategic fit while allocating development resources. |
