Product Description

Review

"Once I read the book, I understood more about how to effect change with my peers so that I could improve our quality practices and we could all succeed at turning projects into products."

Synopsis

In the first of three volumes about quality, management, and productivity, Weinberg discusses software development organizations in terms of their culture, and he observes the patterns of their behavior. Organizations can be classified as one of six cultural patterns, ranging from Pattern One (obvious to the existence of software management) to Pat

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute must read for anybody in the software industry, 16 April 2002

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I'd been introduced to this book when I started!, 6 Jan 2005

By	Mr. P. J. Stubbington "philstubbington" (Reading, Berkshire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
