Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams

Product Description

The legendary 'anti-Dilbert' book on managing software projects by focusing on people - now fully updated for today's projects and methodologies

• Combines humor and wisdom to deliver timeless, practical advice every software manager and developer can use
• Updated and reorganized, with seven brand-new chapters
• Now addresses leadership, generational differences, distributed and diverse teams, managing risk, holding effective meetings, and using email the right way

For this third edition, the authors have added six new chapters and updated the text throughout, bringing it in line with today's development environments and challenges. For example, 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 organization will find invaluable advice throughout the book.
