With a blend of software engineering facts and thought-provoking opinions, Fred Brooks offers insight for anyone managing complex projects. These essays draw from his experience as project manager for the IBM System/360 computer family and then for OS/360, its massive software system. Now, 20 years after the initial publication of his book, Brooks has revisited his original ideas and added new thoughts and advice, both for readers already familiar with his work and for readers discovering it for the first time. The added chapters contain (1) a crisp condensation of all the propositions asserted in the original book, including Brooks' central argument in The Mythical Man-Month: that large programming projects suffer management problems different from small ones due to the division of labor; that the conceptual integrity of the product is therefore critical; and that it is difficult but possible to achieve this unity; (2) Brooks' view of these propositions a generation later; (3) a reprint of his classic 1986 paper "No Silver Bullet"; and (4) today's thoughts on the 1986 assertion, "There will be no silver bullet within ten years." https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mythical-Man-Month-Software-Engineering-Anniversary/dp/0201835959 T / Cl Being pushy = evidence of inadequate planning 〆providing additional resources isn't always the solution T / Cl Determining your level of involvement ✓ ask staff ✓ let staff dictate how you can support them 〆might get distracted & fail to notice more important issues → try delegating rather than getting systematically more involved T / Cl Ask others to help you solve problems 〆not competent or best candidate for a given task → identify someone closer to the problem 〆make sure you are not seen as not taking responsibilities or avoiding none success stories → connect the right people together T / Cl Getting all the credit T / Cl Be extremely generous with #thanks T / Cl Make sure people get credit for the work they do ✓ speak out for the success & contribution of shy team members → give references to staff contribution rather than just report on achievements T / Cl Being too thrashy (out of proportion) - overreacting 〆don't exaggerate risks or priorities ✓ highlight important issues → put in context ]]> 262 active textbook 261 pushy = (informal, disapproving) trying hard to get what you want, especially in a way that seems rude inadvertently = by accident; without intending to to wind up = to end up bond = something that forms a connection between people or groups, such as a feeling of friendship or shared ideas and experiences limelight = centre of public attention to err = to be on the side of sth to show too much of a good quality; to make a mistake; e.g. I thought it was better to err on the side of caution, i.e. to be too careful rather than take a risk 260 20211025 11:30-13:00 MSK | 09:30-11:00 GMT 1.5 1500 active E6=>E7 Mental model #3: You are accountable for the entire org - Micromanagement Partnering (2/2) By the end of this session you will have studied E7 https://docs.google.com/document/d/11uG1IvlTQxh_u8hyO6vb4yIgbtD6B4mCu-KxEkxL6Fk/edit?invite=CM6ekiU# Postponed until further notice smartphone or tablet device
