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.

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。
評分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...
評分关于项目管理,其实,我真的没有多大的感觉,本书说的是软件设计的项目管理,是靠我最近的一个项目。 不过,所有项目的互通感,让我了解到 一、项目的组建,包括项目成员人数,项目产品经理的任命,职能 1、人刚刚好,就好,如果所有的项目功能都设计好了以后,那就是任务...
評分将复杂的道理 藏在简单有趣的故事里。 我一向比较喜欢这样的书。不像看那些大部头,看得累个半死。 回头想想,也没什么东西。 经历过软件项目的都可以在书中找到对应的情节,虽然总有人说国外的软件行业环境和国内的相差太大,但具体到项目中,每一个项目可能出现的问题,人的...
評分这本书的风格不是我所喜欢的,它是一本根据结论虚构案例的书,好像童话,但是故事远不及任何童话精彩。爱思考的人想读这本书,只需要读者个帖子:http://blog.163.com/xingsword@126/blog/static/232081202007123103439794/ 说是不负责任,是因为我只在书店看了一章,十页不到...
