MUST READ for anyone facilitating change in a software organization
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is for those who want to think deeply on how to be a positive change agent for the people around them. I use this material when speaking at conferences and users groups and the response is always incredibly positive. Listeners always want to know more. Software professional suffer from a complete lack of exposure to excellent writings on non-technical topics. This book does a great job helping fill that gap(as do many of Gerry Weinberg's books).
Good book on organizational change emphasising SW management
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The first half of this book is useful for anyone contemplating changing an organization. The second half is directed specifically at project managers. Not a step-by-step guide, but a lot of good concepts and models. Very thought-provoking. If you wonder why you haven't been able to change your organization, this is well worth reading.
Best of the series
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book is the best of the quality software series. Save yourself sometime and start with it and if you find it useful, go back to the previous 3 (I found them best in the following order 2,3,1). The chapter on managing requirements is one of best tools I have ever found for convincing management that we must get a handle on our processes. Be warned however, that none of these books are as readable as "The Secrets of Consulting" or "The Pyschology of Computer Programming." Which I view as Weinberg's best works.
