    <![CDATA[<em>Peopleware</em> asserts that most software development projects fail because of failures within the team running them. This strikingly clear, direct book is written for software development-team leaders and managers, but it's filled with enough commonsense wisdom to appeal to anyone working in technology. Authors Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister include plenty of illustrative, often amusing anecdotes; their writing is light, conversational, and filled with equal portions of humor and wisdom, and there is a refreshing absence of &quot;new age&quot; terms and multistep programs. The advice is presented straightforwardly and ranges from simple issues of prioritization to complex ways of engendering harmony and productivity in your team. <em>Peopleware</em> is a short read that delivers more than many books on the subject twice its size.]]>

    <![CDATA[Any software project that's worth starting will be vulnerable to risk. Since greater risks bring greater rewards, a company that runs away from risk will soon find itself lagging behind its more adventurous competition.  <p>By ignoring the threat of negative outcomes&#151;in the name of positive thinking or a Can-Do attitude&#151;software managers drive their organizations into the ground.  <p>In Waltzing with Bears, Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister&#151;the best-selling authors of Peopleware&#151;show readers how to identify and embrace worthwhile risks. Developers are then set free to push the limits.  <p>You'll find that risk management   <p>* makes aggressive risk-taking possible  <br/>* protects management from getting blindsided  <br/>* provides minimum-cost downside protection  <br/>* reveals invisible transfers of responsibility  <br/>* isolates the failure of a subproject.  <p>Readers are taught to identify the most common risks faced by software projects:   <p>* schedule flaws <br/>* requirements inflation <br/>* turnover <br/>* specification breakdown <br/>* and under-performance.   <p>Packed with provocative insights, real-world examples, and project-saving tips, Waltzing with Bears is your guide to mitigating the risks&#151;before they turn into problems.</p></p></p></p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[ Softwareprojekte zu managen ist Stress pur. Doch je höher das Risiko eines Projekts -- zum Beispiel durch extrem knappe Zeitpläne oder schwierige Kundenwünsche --, desto lohnender ist es oft auch. Und wer die Risiken scheut, überlässt der Konkurrenz das Feld. Also heißt es, das Risiko ganz bewusst zu akzeptieren und zu managen. &quot;Risikomanagement ist Projektmanagement für Erwachsene&quot;, ist die Meinung der beiden alten Hasen Tom DeMarco und Timothy Lister. Ihre Beispiele und Tipps aus der Praxis sind sowohl für noch unerfahrene Projektleiter als auch für Fortgeschrittene Gold Wert. Zwar konzentrieren sie sich in den Beispielen sehr auf ihre Spezialität, Softwareprojekte, aber die Erkenntnisse, die sie vermitteln, lassen sich auf Vorhaben aller Art anwenden.<p>  DeMarco und Lister sparen nicht mit beißender Kritik an den Führungsetagen. &quot;Die Fähigkeit, sechs unmögliche Dinge vor dem Frühstück zu glauben ist wahrscheinlich in keinem Job der Welt so sehr ein Bestandteil des Anforderungsprofils wie im Softwareprojektmanagement... von uns wird routinemäßig erwartet, dass wir uns dazu bringen, an Termine, Budgets oder Leistungsmerkmale zu glauben, die sich hinterher womöglich als Ding der Unmöglichkeit herausstellen&quot;, kommentieren sie und erziehen ihre Leser zu einer kritisch-skeptischen Haltung gegenüber Vorgaben von oben. Denn für besonders gefährlich halten sie die Wir-schaffen-das-Haltung, die besonders im amerikanisch geprägten Management zum guten Ton gehört. &quot;Die schlimmsten Organisationen sanktionieren unattraktive Voraussagen, nicht aber unattraktive Ergebnisse.&quot; Positives Denken wird zwar gern gesehen, lässt viele Projekt aber fatal enden.<p>  Das heißt nicht, dass man nicht selbst etwas tun kann, um die Risiken des eigenen Projekts unter Kontrolle zu halten. Witzig, treffend und auf den Punkt (wie von DeMarco nicht anders zu erwarten) analysieren die Autoren Fallgeschichten gescheiterter Projekte und leiten dazu an, Katastrophenszenarien durchzuspielen, damit es gar nicht erst zum Schlimmsten kommt. Nach dem Motto &quot;Unsicherheit klar eingrenzen zu können ist besser als komplette Unsicherheit&quot; lehren sie ausführlich und mit vielen Beispielen, wie man Risikodiagramme erstellt und dem Management präsentiert. Das ist eine Kunst für sich, die sehr viel mit Wahrscheinlichkeiten zu tun hat und dazu beitragen dürfte, dass so manche Terminvorgabe realistischer ausfällt. Darüber hinaus erklären DeMarco und Lister, wie man Kosten-Nutzen-Rechnungen für riskante Projekte macht und die Risiken so weit wie möglich vermindert. Und natürlich geben sie detaillierte Rezepte für ein professionelles Risikomanagement. Alles in allem ein sehr empfehlenswertes Buch. <em>--Sylvia Englert</em></p></p>]]>
