Summary "Drawing from his own engineering-management experience - and decades of research and consulting - Dr. Peters illuminates proven principles you can adapt now to your own projects." "Unlike other books in the field, this one focuses squarely on the manager - and demonstrates you won't need the tactics of Genghis Khan or Machiavelli. (And Godzilla gets only a passing mention.) Instead, you'll discover that the most successful software project managers are also leaders. And, you'll learn how to apply their pragmatic advice, examples, and tools to lead the right results for your business."--Jacket
