Software Project Secrets: Why Software Projects Fail

by George Stepanek

Software Project Why Software Projects Fail offers a new path to success in the software industry. This book reaches out to managers, developers, and customers who use industry-standard methodologies, but whose projects still struggle to succeed.

Author George Stepanek analyzes the project management methodology itself, a critical factor that has thus far been overlooked. He explains why it creates problems for software development projects and begins by describing 12 ways in which software projects are different from other kinds of projects. He also analyzes the project management body of knowledge to discover 10 hidden assumptions that are invalid in the context of software projects.

ترجمه چندان روانی نداشت. اگر چه مسایل مطرح شده خیلی بدیهی بود . ضعف اصلی کتاب بیان نکردن مثالهای متنوع بود. موضوع پیچیده ای مثل مهندسی نرم افزار و انواع روشهای پیاده سازی نیاز به ذکر مثال دارد.

من نسخه این کتاب در نرم افزار طاقچه را مطالعه کردم، نسخه ای که من مطالعه کردم دارای اشتباه های تایپی زیادی بود که گاهی باعث دل زدگی خواننده می شد و همچنین نداشتن پانوشت مناسب برای واژه های تخصصی فهم موضوع را سخت تر می کرد. شاید بتوان گفت در ترجمه هم گاهی کم لطفی شده و آنچنان که باید ترجمه خوبی انجام نشده است.

A wonderful book about the better way in managing software projects. It introduces the difference between managing tangible projects such as (road projects, building projects ..etc) and intangible projects (i.e. software). If you are related to the IT field and have known PMI project processes for a long time, you have to read this book "Why Software Projects Fail?". You know, there is a better software development methodology than the waterfall model!

Started well, pinpointing how traditional project management contrasts with software development in many "Ah yes!!" ways. Unfortunately, the solutions in the second half don't live up to the outline of the issues in the first as they're really just a light introduction to agile methodologies.

ترجمه مفاهیم چابک خیلی قابل فهم نبود بنظرم

A pleasant read for the software development given my position as developer.
