About the Book

Unlike other books on the topic, this book focuses squarely on the manager-and shows how to get results without adopting philosophies from Genghis Khan or Machiavelli. (There is mention of Godzilla, however.) Packed with real-world examples and pragmatic advice, this book shows any software development manager-new or experienced-how to lead teams in delivering the right results for their business.

Lawrence J. Peters, Ph.D., CSDP, has 40 years’ experience as a software engineering manager, developer, consultant, and instructor. He’s led more than a dozen multimillion-dollar software projects to success, and consults and trains for several Fortune 500 clients. He’s also written four books, developed a software engineering master’s program, and taught at several universities.
