✦ Synopsis

I read the first edition years ago -- after the fact. I had just survived [barely] my first death march project, and I thought it offered some good, retrospective advice. It helped me recognize at the very least, a death march project when I see one. Reading the second edition reminded me of what I disliked about the first. The raw emails serving as end notes to each chapter are quite repetitious and in need, perhaps, of editing.

The new chapters however, are worth the price of admission, and offer lots of fresh perspectives and eminently practical advice.

I recommend this book for anyone who is a project manager by title, or who is the de-facto lead on software projects, or wants to be, or may have this sort of greatness thrust upon them.
