Summed up in one sentence, Peopleware says this: give smart people physical space, intellectual responsibility and strategic direction. DeMarco and Lister advocate private offices and windows. They advocate creating teams with aligned goals and limited non-team work. They advocate managers finding good staff and putting their fate in the hands of those staff. The manager's function, they write, is not to make people work but to make it possible for people to work.

Why is Peopleware so important to Microsoft and a handful of other successful companies? Why does it inspire such intense devotion amongst the elite group of people who think about software project management for a living? Its direct writing and its amusing anecdotes win it friends. So does its fundamental belief that people will behave decently given the right conditions. Then again, lots of books read easily, contain funny stories and exude goodwill. Peopleware's persuasiveness comes from its numbers - from its simple, cold, numerical demonstration that improving programmers' environments will make them more productive.

The numbers in Peopleware come from DeMarco and Lister's Coding War Games, a series of competitions to complete given coding and testing tasks in minimal time and with minimal defects. The Games have consistently confirmed various known facts of the software game. For instance, the best coders outperform the ten-to-one, but their pay seems only weakly linked to their performance. But DeMarco and Lister also found that the best-performing coders had larger, quieter, more private workspaces. It is for this one empirical finding that Peopleware is best known.

(As an aside, it's worth knowing that DeMarco and Lister tried to track down the research showing that open-plan offices make people more productive. It didn't exist. Cubicle makers just kept saying it, without evidence - a technique Peopleware describes as "proof by repeated assertion".)

Around their Coding Wars data, DeMarco and Lister assembled a theory: that managers should help programmers, designers, writers and other brainworkers to reach a state that psychologists call "flow" - an almost meditative condition where people can achieve important leaps towards solving complex problems. It's the state where you start work, look up, and notice that three hours have passed. But it takes time - perhaps fifteen minutes on average - to get into this state. And DeMarco and Lister that today's typical noisy, cubicled, Dilbertesque office rarely allows people 15 minutes of uninterrupted work. In other words, the world is full of places where a highly-paid and dedicated programmer or creative artist can spend a full day without ever getting any hard-core work. Put another way, the world is full of cheap opportunities for people to make their co-workers more productive, just by building their offices a bit smarter.

A decade and a half after Peopleware was written, and after the arrival of a new young breed of IT companies called Web development firms, it would be nice to think DeMarco and Lister's ideas have been widely adopted. Instead, they remain widely ignored. In an economy where smart employees can increasingly pick and choose, it will be interesting to see how much longer this ignorance can continue.

《Peopleware》 1987年出版便被列為管理聖經之一,而在最近才有機會拜讀此書,原本以為艱深難懂但沒想到異常的輕鬆活潑,很輕易的就能讀完,而當中所冷嘲熱諷的愚蠢管理行為和觀點,正好發生我上一份工作以及部份蠢事也止發生在我目前的工作環境當中,讀起來真是心有戚戚焉呀...

“隔街找钥匙,只因街更亮” ---- 我们关注技术方面的东西而故意忽视人际关系的问题,不是因为它重要,而是因为他更容易。 允许犯错 ---- 团队技术平均水平或许会因采取的任何限制错误的措施而得到改善,但团队社会学却受到了破坏。 团队催化剂 ---- 一些成员的重要性...

有能力的还是去读 原文把。 翻译的实在惨不忍睹,难道这些翻译因为多掌握了几门语言,反而把自己的母语丢掉了?原文如果是浓香味醇的鸡汤的话,翻译之后只剩下满锅油腻的油沫,用勺捞捞,还能捞上几只鸡屁。 原本一本有趣的书,被弄成这个样子,实在是罪过罪过。 原本作者的风...

Peopleware 通译《人件》,是在软件开发领域与《人月神话(The Mythical Man-Month)》齐名的著作,其讨论的主要观点是【软件系统的主要问题不在于技术,而在于社会性因素】。书中探讨的内容在一定程度上适用于包括软件开发的一系列脑力劳动,其中对加班的讨论在如今 996 工作制...

近日读《人件》这本“旧书”,这书确实不错。不过,这本书主要不是写给开发人员看的,作者是两名consultant,他们的工作是分析研究软件项目的过程,对项目给出指导,很显然,他们的目标是项目的管理者、公司的管理者。 而如今,这本书被标榜为“为开发人员伸张权利”的书籍,...
