Book Reviews of Software by Numbers: Low-Risk, High-Return Development
Book Review: Risks and Rewards of Incremental Development
Summary: 4 Stars
I am an advocate of Agile Software Development methods so I read this book with that bias. What I found was this book quantifies many of the ideas of agile development that before just made intuitive sense. The book explains the potential value of developing in small steps, and has a great discussion of how incremental development and architecture interact to affect return on investment.
If you are not involved in the financial side of planning software projects you may find yourself skimming through parts, but the general themes are ones that everyone involved in planning software projects will find interesting. (This includes developers in small teams.)
In most cases customers want you to build a software application to help them make or save money, and reading this book will help you to understand that.
