Description: Author: James A Highsmith III; foreword by Ken Orr Title: Adaptive Software Development: A Collaborative Approach to Managing Complex Systems Binding: paperback Size: about 8" x 10" Pagination: 358pp Published: Dorset House; 1999 Condition: Very good [OCR is approximate, as always] ABOUT THE BOOK In todays turbulent e-busi-ness world, software project teams that survive and thrive wont be those that continue their traditions of optimiza-tion, efficiency, and control, but those that exhibit adapt-ability, speed, and collabora-tion. Adaptive Software Development is targeted at software teams where competition creates extreme pressure on the delivery process. Four goals of the book are • to support an adaptive culture in which change and uncertainty are assumed to be the natural state • to introduce frameworks to guide the iterative process of managing change • to institute collaboration, the interaction of people on interpersonal, cultural, and structural levels • to add rigor and discipline to the RAD approach, making it scalable to the uncertainty and complexity of real-world undertakings. This innovative text, grounded in the science of complex adaptive systems theory, offers a practical, realistic approach to managing the high-speed, high-change projects characteristic of our highly uncertain economy. «2018» Take a close look at the auction images for details of contents and condition.
