Negative Positive
Title: Must read.
Review: This book, I believe, is of importance to all managers, not just those involved in software development. All managers share common concerns. All need to balance the elements of the classical scope/time/resources tradeoff, almost always in a cloud of uncertainty. Marasco's approach to resolving software development management issues is just as valid and useful to resolving general management issues.In my view, what makes this book work is Marasco's ability to explain reasonably complex issues in real world terms. Terms that people who aren't afforded the luxury of leisurely scholarship can use and apply to their immediate problems. Most managers are drinking out of a fire hose. This book gives them the concise, no frills input they need.Every manager should have a dog-eared copy of this "guide" on his desk when he's in the office and in his briefcase when he's on the road!
