How to get people and technology to work together.

For many years I've struggled to understand a basic question in our business: why is the engineering and distribution of software fundamentally different from the engineering and distribution of other engineered objects? Brad Cox presents a unique answer to this question—an answer that could lead to a fundamental change in the way that software professionals view their creations and software marketers sell them.

—Roger Pressman

...as we look to the horizon of a decade hence, we see no silver bullet. There is no single development, in either technology or in management technique, that by itself promises even one order-of-magnitude improvement in productivity, in reliability, in simplicity.

—Fred Brooks
