Title overview
Even today, many software projects still run catastrophically over schedule and budget; some organizations simply conclude that software development can’t be managed well. But it can -- and it starts with people. In their eagerly awaited, extensively updated Managing the Unmanageable, Second Edition, Mickey W. Mantle and Ron Lichty show students how software managers can hire and develop programmers and build teams that are truly, consistently manageable.
This book guides students in:
- Hiring the right people
- Motivating them
- Building a culture of excellence
- Managing “up” to gain buy-in from the executive suite
- Leading your teams to deliver outstanding products -- consistently on time and budget
Significant updates in this edition include:
- A new chapter on software management in agile environments, with modern agile coverage woven in throughout the book
- Solutions for managing your youngest developers (beyond millennials)
- Making the most of today’s developer recruiting tools
- Achieving quick wins by onboarding more effectively
- Expanded coverage of managing (and removing) problem employees
