Like economics, the discipline of software development suffers from a weakness that prevents the resolution of competing theories, in that it is generally impossible to perform controlled experiments. It would take an extremely brave manager to ever try out two competing development theories by having two teams build the same product simultaneously. However, it is possible to borrow a technique from theoretical physics and perform thought experiments. Such an experiment would involve having more than one team develop the same product simultaneously, but using different techniques. That type of experiment is the premise of this novel.

The main character is a recent victim of downsizing who is kidnapped and taken to a formerly communist country where the educational level is high and the costs are low. Once there, he succumbs to his fantasies and agrees to perform the experiment of his dreams. With six products to build and a large staff of developers, he splits them into eighteen groups where each product is being built by three teams simultaneously. Each group of the three then uses a different development method. Throw in impossible deadlines and you have a microcosm of software development.

It would appear that such a premise would guarantee a boring book, but nothing could be further from the truth. The book is entertaining and enduring, as developers will recognize most of their development problems, albeit couched in somewhat unique circumstances. Many of the leading figures in the theory of software development management make cameo appearances, including a certain very rich man. The end result is a true stroke of genius that has somewhat of a surprise ending, but actually quite natural, given the current climate in the computer business.

It is rare when a book about the management of software development is not as dull as baked dirt, and this book is indeed the exception. Not only is it entertaining, but you can even learn some management skills in the process.

在我看到《最后期限》中间部分时,老婆问我看什么书,我说关于项目管理方面的小说,于是问,“有没有爱情故事?”,“没有吧!”,“那不适合我看。”,“这么俗!”,“那今晚你睡厅吧!”没想到看完到最后几行时,发现还真以爱情故事完美结局噢,那怕是讲工作类小说也需要生...

每读一个章节,都能够在现实的工作中找到或多或少的影子。 想做好项目管理 -- 或者是更广泛意义的管理工作,都应该去翻翻这本书。

正在做一个项目,边实践边对照着书,感慨故事和现实何以惊人的相似。这一次是重读了,很多事情你只有经历过了,才能理解,才会印象深刻。虽然是小说,没有管理书籍常见的条条框框,但是作者还是很善意的每章的末尾作了小小的总结。 讲几个自己感受最深的: “一拥而上”,企...

不过没经历过大项目,里头一些东西找不到共鸣。 我在想书里面的元首是不是指微软那个比尔,那个小国是不是指印度?呵呵。

很早的时候就有了这么一本书,却不知道是怎么有的,反正它一直停留在书架上面,没有任何迹象和线索能够引导我想起这本书的来历。因此,也一直没有想法要去读它,一本不被引起注意的书通常是机缘巧合才去翻读的,而且往往会邂逅惊喜,比如这本。 作者汤姆.迪马可身载Wa...

前段和中间部分可以,ending不清不楚,可能由于篇幅所限吧。
