In this classic book the authors demonstrate the major human - not technical - issues of
software development and give challenging but successful answers to the questions of software
managers and developers. For this edition the authors have added six new chapters and updated
the text throughout bringing it in line with today s development environments and challenges.
The book now discusses pathologies of leadership that hadn t previously been judged to be
pathological an evolving culture of meetings hybrid teams made up of people from seemingly
incompatible generations and a growing awareness that some of our most common tools are more
like anchors than propellers. Anyone who needs to manage a software project or software
organisation will find invaluable advice throughout the book.
