Dynamics of Software Development
I read this book as one of manager had suggested cpl years back . there is lot of implicit subjective insides I am processing after this read. you tend to overlook some things in software development assuming those are obvious and you cant avoid it or may be thinking your leadership will take care of it,Jim has discussed as how such things can be handled in effective way to get things done in right way,sometimes in a ill motivated team and highly political environment. Book discusses some specific experiences jim had while executing challenging project in MS , one can tailor those situation by applying specific situational parameters to make effective decisions on complex projects those are also critical to competitive market from business perspective. one might have or I am sure everyone who have executed or in role of PM has similar kinda of experiences but to the certain possible extent transferring those in tangible and mensurable items and spreading those across the book in most logical way is something about it. I am thankful to my manager who had suggested this years back.
