Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Can't really get any useful information out of this book. For example, has chapters on design, and systems integration. Being a hacker (the target group), I know more about this than the book does. The book however does not really tell how to manage these issues, which is what the book was supposed to be doing in the first place....(book about pm, not about design).

Product Description:
Managing a software development project is a complex process. There are lots of deliverables to produce, standards and procedures to observe, plans and budgets to meet, and different people to manage. Project management doesn't just start and end with designing and building the system. Once you've specified, designed and built (or bought) the system it still needs to be properly tested, documented and settled into the live environment. This can seem like a maze to the inexperienced project manager, or even to the experienced project manager unused to a particular environment.
A Hacker's Guide to Project Management acts as a guide through this maze. It's aimed specifically at those managing a project or leading a team for the first time, but it will also help more experienced managers who are either new to software development, or dealing with a new part of the software life-cycle.
This book:
describes the process of software development, how projects can fail and how to avoid those failures
outlines the key skills of a good project manager, and provides practical advice on how to gain and deploy those skills
takes the reader step-by-step through the main stages of the project, explaining what must be done, and what must be avoided at each stage
suggests what to do if things start to go wrong!
The book will also be useful to designers and architects, describing important design techniques, and discussing the important discipline of Software Architecture.
