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.

这本书 花了2个早上看完,当时读完以后就有很多理念上的更新和收获。 今天抽空来写书评,我只想 说说我的“期限”。 事实上,所有的企业必须面临时间管理的问题,好企业往往在时间和运营上能够相对平衡。 我想,在这里,给自己一个期限(管理企业的人,首先要学会管理自己) ...
评分 评分每读一个章节,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。
评分正在做一个项目,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...
评分将复杂的道理 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...
