A needed dose of software development sanity., April 26 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Creating a Software Engineering Culture (Hardcover)
This is a great overview of all the elements of a successful software project - from project planning to system design on up to testing and project postmortem. Many of the topics are covered too lightly to allow a practitioner to use all of Wieger's advice right out of the gate. But that's fine - the book is meant to be a handbook of great ideas from which practitioners should choose, study and implement. Pay particular attention to the discussion on determing project drivers and constraints during the project planning phase - an area usually breezed over, with devastating consequences.

A common-sense approach to software process improvement., Feb 10 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Creating a Software Engineering Culture (Hardcover)
The book contains a common-sense approach to software process improvement strategies for most organizations to follow. Wiegers takes the mystique out of the Software Engineering Institute's CMM and offers the CMM as one way of many to accomplish process improvement. He balances technology and process-focus against real-world people issues. Must reading for anyone involved in a Software Engineering Process Group or for senior managers trying to figure out what all this stuff is about. Text is well illustrated by case studies and examples from the author's experience at Kodak

A guide to creating a healthy software organization, Jan 16 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Creating a Software Engineering Culture (Hardcover)
Karl Wieger's book is exceptional in that is provides youwith ideas to improve the culture of the software
department. It provides culture builders, as well as those
nasty culture killers. It leaves you waiting for Monday
morning to use at least one of the practices you have read.
This is a MUST READ book for all software managers and
practitioners.
