Most people have experienced--at least once in their lives--the incomparable thrill of being part of a great team effort. They can remember the unity of purpose they experienced, the powerful passion that inspired them, and the incredible results they achieved. People who have been on a great team can attest that the difference between being on a team with a shared vision and being on a team without one is the difference between joy and misery.

In 1996, Jim and Michele McCarthy, after successful careers leading software development teams at Microsoft and elsewhere, set out to discover a set of repeatable group behaviors that would always lead to the formation of a state of shared vision for any team. They hoped for a practical, communicable, and reliable process that could be used to create the best possible teams every time it was applied. They established a hands-on laboratory for the study and teaching of high-performance teamwork. In a controlled simulation environment, their principle research and teaching effort--the McCarthy Software Development BootCamp--challenged dozens of real-world, high-tech teams to produce and deliver a product. Teams were given a product development assignment, and instructed to form a team, envision the product, agree on how to make it, then design, build, and ship it on time. By repeating these simulations time after time, with the new teams building on the learning from previous teams, core practices emerged that were repeatedly successful. These were encoded as patterns and protocols.

Software for Your Head is the first publication of the most significant results of the authors' unprecedented five-year investigation into the dynamics of contemporary teams. The information in this book will provide a means for any team to create for itself a compelling state of shared vision.

A magnum opus 21 janvier 2004

Par Timothy Bailen - Publié sur Amazon.com

Format: Broché Achat vérifié

Twelve years since I first reviewed this and I can now look back and say unequivocally that this is the most impactful book I have ever read. I think about it often. Some parts of this book are out of date -- the protocols themselves are now at version 3 and have become tighter and simpler -- but much of the content is timeless: insight into the psychology of highly effective teams and an inspiring vision of what is possible.

What is promised is a culture of ideas, of mutual support, flow, and grand ambition which is unlocked when you get everyone in the game. This book proscribes certain behaviors toward that end. Teams that intentionally adopt the Core System together will experience these fruits early and often. I've seen it. It is a system, though, just like a car. While wheels, windows, and engines are interesting and somewhat useful on their own, the best utility happens when it all comes together.

My original review was voted "most helpful critical review." I was critical, but, ironically, one of my criticisms was that I wanted more! I liked the ideas and wanted to learn more about their background. At 464 pages, though, maybe it was wise to leave that out. Another criticism was that it can be hard to read. It is and it isn't. I "got" a lot from it right away, but it does have a unique style which invites deeper exploration -- something that I now appreciate.

There is much to be learned here -- this is a magnum opus -- and I recommend this book to people wanting more from work, for people disenfranchised by bureaucracy and mediocrity, and especially to managers who want to do something about it.

Chapter 20 of Peopleware 10 mars 2004

Par Keith Sader - Publié sur Amazon.com

Format: Broché Achat vérifié

In Chapter 20 of _Peopleware_ Mr. DeMarco and Mr. Lister tried to list things that would make a team jell. They came up with the un-inspiring 0(zero) things you can do to make a team jell. From this stopping point, they came up with their famous reverse-angle chapter 'Teamicide'.
This is the book that should have been written in place of that chapter. Devotees of the people side of IT development will find this book useful in diagnosing what's wrong on their team, and they will a good idea of how to start fixing it. This book has probably advanced the sociology of IT teams past where it has been since DeMarco & Lister. Warning, this book is not for the timid, or for those that think the people side of IT is unimportant.
One thing the authors don't make clear is if one has to take their bootcamp course to implement these procedures, or if this book can be used as-is.

Quiet desperation got you down? 18 janvier 2002

Par Amazon Customer - Publié sur Amazon.com

Format: Broché Achat vérifié

If you loved Demarco and Lister's PEOPLEWARE but were left feeling powerless about what steps to take at work to make knowledge management better. If you ranged as far as Roger Schwarz's SKILLED FACILITATOR or Argyris's OVERCOMING ORGANIZATIONAL DEFENSES but were left at a loss about how you could apply it all in real time. If you resonated with Peter Drucker's POST CAPITALIST SOCIETY but could not apply his generalizations to daily production of knowledge capital. If any of the above, you will devour this book.
Somehow books on releasing the greatness, beauty, and power of teams, always seem to strike glancing blows on real knowlede worker problems. In fact, most books won't come out and say that they want to change the world. Greatness, beauty, power, and such things come wrapped in such a mess of sociological, cultural, and managerial trouble, most books won't try to prescribe greatness et. al.
Not this one. This one wants it all. World domination in catalyzing teams that concquer. The book is worth its price for its "McCarthyized" sound bites alone. But, this is in fact, genius from another dimension. You may disagree with everything it says, and still read it from cover to cover and profit greatly from constant questioning, provocation, and counter intuitive-examples provided. And there is always the chance, that the McCarthys are right.

Getting to results 4 décembre 2002

Par Un client - Publié sur Amazon.com

Format: Broché

Software For Your Head gives us an insightful look at ourselves. Those of us who have been working on project teams for years and years, always seeking the next process idea that will really make a difference realize that it is not the process that we use that holds us back. Extreme programming, MSF, RAD,RUP, OOAD, PMI, Ad Hoc, Agile, Adaptive, Scrum ... the list goes on and on. Having studied each of these methods and having personally used many, I've found that they each have strenghts. If we would use the process, we'd be more successful. For some reason, perhaps because software that truely adds business value is really elusive we dwell on the process and not what really holds us back. It's us. We don't believe in ourselves and certainly not in each other and certainly not in our users (those footing the bill). I found that SWFH and theCore described within the book, really uncovers what is missing from our projects. It's us. SWFH describes patterns and antipatterns of our behavior. To truely get your hands around this information it requires thoughtful reading, perhaps multiple times. It requires committment to improving the way we work together. It requires committment to improving the way I work, the level and degree of my presence on the job and in life. I love software. I love technology. I love the challenge that SWFH gives me to think about my results. This is an important work and requires accountability. Read it and then read it again.

Some great ideas wrapped in too much padding 20 avril 2005

Par IanBren - Publié sur Amazon.com

Format: Broché

I'm a big fan of "Dynamics of Software Development" and I expected this book to be 10 years better than that. It isn't.

It's like buying a favourite band's new CD and finding that you really liked the old work in the days of vinyl. And the CD collects dust.

I bought this book and tried to read it many times. I've willed it to be engaging, I wanted it to be good, I've given time over to reading it, but it's not engaging and feels bloated.

Sure there are some great ideas, but they're fighting to get out of the "stuff" around it.

Looking forward to the next book Jim. I hope it's the one I was looking for.
