内容説明
In the course of a career, practically every software developer will encounter several projects that are objectively "doomed to fail." In this best-selling book, now in paperback, Ed Yourdon presents specific techniques for surviving those projects -- and even for helping them succeed, to the extent possible. Yourdon brings his unique technology and management insight to the software development projects that need it most: those "death march" projects that have outrageous staffing, schedule or budget or feature constraints which make them extremely likely to fail. Yourdon shows how to make sure your career survives projects like that -- and how to manage "death march" projects to maximize the chance of success. Yourdon walks step-by-step through the entire project lifecycle, starting with up-front negotiation. He presents never-before-published, specific tips and techniques will ring true to any developer or manager faced with the impossible. For all developers, IT professionals, and managers.
