Summary:
In Winning With Software, the world's leading expert in software process improvement turns his attention to executives, demonstrating how to transform software development into a powerful competitive advantage -- and revealing the risks of inaction. Watts Humphrey begins by illuminating the central role of software development in virtually every organization -- technical and non-technical alike. He helps executives understand the "operational profile" of their current software development organizations; explains why software projects fail; demonstrates the bottom-line advantages of software quality; and more. Humphrey shows how to set realistic quality goals; explains how to change engineering behavior that leads to suboptimal results; and demonstrates how to build motivated teams. The book concludes with detailed primers on the Personal Software Process (PSP ) and Team Software Process (TSP ), Humphrey's breakthrough solutions for making software quality improvement succeed over the long haul. For all CxO-level executives, line-of-business managers, and IT managers.
