Surviving Object-Oriented Projects: A Manager's Guide

Synopsis

More and more organizations are successfully transitioning to object technology. However, managers are faced with a significant lack of information regarding the hidden costs, unpleasant surprises, and unrealistic expectations they may encounter in managing an OO project. Alistair Cockburn borrows from his personal experiences to address the recurring challenges that face the object-oriented project manager, providing numerous heuristics that empower managers to solve or avoid the most common problems found in object-oriented projects. These problems include issues of scheduling, budgeting, staffing, and cost-justification - all supported and illustrated by short case studies of actual projects. The final chapter collects these heuristics into brief lists for quick reference.
