Mô tả sản phẩm

Trong cuốn sách kinh điển này, các tác giả chứng minh các vấn đề chính về con người - không phải kỹ thuật - trong phát triển phần mềm và đưa ra những câu trả lời đầy thách thức nhưng thành công cho các câu hỏi của các nhà quản lý và phát triển phần mềm. Đối với ấn bản này, các tác giả đã bổ sung thêm sáu chương mới và cập nhật nội dung xuyên suốt, giúp nó phù hợp với môi trường và thách thức phát triển ngày nay. 

Bây giờ cuốn sách thảo luận về các bệnh lý của khả năng lãnh đạo mà trước đây chưa được đánh giá là bệnh lý; một nền văn hóa hội họp đang phát triển; các đội lai gồm những người thuộc các thế hệ dường như không tương thích nhau; và nhận thức ngày càng tăng rằng một số công cụ phổ biến nhất của chúng ta giống những chiếc mỏ neo hơn là cánh quạt. Bất kỳ ai cần quản lý một dự án phần mềm hoặc tổ chức phần mềm sẽ tìm thấy những lời khuyên vô giá xuyên suốt cuốn sách.
