If you, like me, fell lost in the world of PM theory this book offers a fresh hands-on approach - practical advice from a successful expert, somewhat brief at times, but an easy and informative read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Project Management 101 27 Sep 2001
By F. Gagnon - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
If you have never been exposed to managing software development before, you may find this book interesting (just as you would find your first class on project management). However, if you know about software projects in general, you will likely find that you wasted your money (and your time). Sullivan spent most of the book describing his experience at his company and how they "succeeded" their software development. He presents the problems they faced in a very high level view without really proposing or suggesting concreate solutions. Overall, this book tells you what problems exists in software development projects, but you probably already know these problems since you are looking at buying this book...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent advice for the entire development organization 30 Oct 2002
By Michael R Carruth - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book details common sense approaches to different aspects of software development - from defining requirements to development to software testing - that are too often overlooked or undervalued in many software shops. I am a developer, but the book contains a wealth of practical tips and techniques for project managers, developers, QA team members, and functional managers. I highly recommend this book to anyone involved in software development that is looking for ways to improve the quality of the software they deliver. I never write reviews, but for me this book ranks up there with Steve McConnell's Code Complete as one of those books that I am constantly referring to in an ongoing effort to improve my ability to develop quality software.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for leaders 11 Oct 2001
By Tom Flanery - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
An excellent book!

This book boils down the essentials of software development for leaders who need to manage software projects without a lot of overhead. As it said, it doesn't try to explain everything - but the coverage is broad enough to take you through the development cycle. It also relates a lot of real-world stories to show the principles in action and I found them helpful and could use some at work. It's not an academic book but rather a summary of what has worked well elsewhere. It's more like a case-study meant for leaders who need to see the forest through the trees.
