Artikelomschrijving
This is the digital version of the printed book (Copyright ® 2003). If There as No Risk On Your Next Project, Don at Do It. Greater risk brings greater reward, especially in software development. A company that runs away from risk will soon find itself lagging behind its more adventurous competition. By ignoring the threat of negative outcomesûin the name of positive thinking or a can-do attitudeûsoftware managers drive their organizations into the ground. In Waltzing with Bears, Tom DeMarco and Timothy Listerûthe best-selling authors of Peoplewareûshow readers how to identify and embrace worthwhile risks. Developers are then set free to push the limits. The authors present the benefits of risk management, including that it makes aggressive risk-taking possible, protects management from getting blindsided, provides minimum-cost downside protection, reveals invisible transfers of responsibility, isolates the failure of a subproject. Readers are armed with strategies for confronting the most common risks that software projects face: schedule flaws, requirements inflation, turnover, specification breakdown, and under-performance. Waltzing with Bears will help you mitigate the risksûbefore they turn into project-killing problems. Risks are out thereûand they should be thereûbut there is a way to manage them. á
