| Summary |
In Software Runaways, software failure expert Robert Glass shows exactly what went wrong in 16 colossal software disasters - and how to keep disasters from happening to you. Glass goes behind the scenes of those awful projects you've seen on the nightly news - the Denver Airport baggage system, the IRS modernization - and a host of less well-publicized failures that are equally instructive. Along the way, he identifies six characteristics of projects likely to fail - and some will surprise you. Whether you're an IT executive, project manager or developer, Software Runaways helps you learn from someone else's mistakes |
