Slashdot.org originally had to say about James and Neil's book!
"This is a remarkably wise book, full of pragmatic advice drawn from real
projects. Ultimately, software development is a human experience, and Jim and
Neil have captured the essence of that experience in this work. The tapestry of
patterns they have woven is postively brillant, and each thread therein is a
delight to read."
--Grady Booch, IBM Fellow
Do you want to really improve your software development organization instead

in-depth studies of over 100 real software development organizations.
The authors present nearly 100 organizational patterns to help you create a
highly effective organization. Case studies and vignettes illustrate how these
patterns work. This practical guide shows you how to reshape critical parts of
your organization. Regardless of your role, you will find patterns that you can
use to make your organization more effective.
"This carefully researched, artfully described, and extraordinarily useful
handbook of deep wisdom on creating teams that generate terrific software should
be on every software development manager's bookshelf."
--Luke Hohmann, Hohmann Consulting
Author of Beyond Software Architecture
"As soon as I had worked through these patterns, I realized that several
of my clients engaged in process definition projects could make use of them."
