| Read this book if you are: -
A project leader looking for guidance about techniques for enabling a team to work more effectively, both organizationally and personally . We also discuss tools we used and their alternatives, and we provide practical advice about using a process such as RUP to help foster communication. -
An individual practitioner (a programmer, tester, or analyst) working on a small project . This book will help you learn ways to communicate with your team members without unreasonable overhead. It suggests tools that might be useful, and it shows how to apply a process effectively to guide and focus you without also burdening you. -
An individual practitioner working on an open source project . This book doesn't focus on open source development, but it does have some parallels with open source experiences. It provides an example of working on a geographically distributed team. It shows how the team accommodated its work styles and tools to account for geographical separation, sets of disparate tools, and working on separate networks. -
Other individual practitioners interested in small projects or agile techniques and who are curious about how they fit with other processes, including RUP. |
