The Software Development Edge: Essays on Managing Successful Projects

Over the course of a legendary career, Joe Marasco earned a reputation as the
"go to" software project manager: the one to call when you were facing a
brutally tough, "make or break" project. Marasco reflected on his experiences
in a remarkable series of "Franklin's Kite" essays for The Rational Edge,
Rational and IBM's online software development magazine. Now, Marasco
collects and updates those poignant essays, bringing his unique insights (and
humor) to everything from modeling to scheduling, team dynamics to
compensation. The result: a new classic that deserves a place alongside Fred
Brooks' The Mythical Man-Month in the library of every developer and
software manager
