My Favorite Reference

I've just ordered my second copy of this book (to replace one that vanished from my desk - I simply did not want to be without it). As a software development manager with fifteen years experience I find this book very valuable - it is logically laid out and has excellent visuals. I refer to it on a regular basis to help me put my thoughts in order and to jog my memory when I'm planning, documenting, and training.

Too Much in Too Samll a Package.

I think this resource is better for reference purposes than it is for comprehension. The charts, forms, tables, graphics and flowcharts are great, but the reading itself and its presentation, e.g. the font size, need correction or refinement. This book helped me to understand important process, project management, and software engineering concepts, and when combined with other SW Eng resources, such as Pfleeger's SW Engineering (PH, 1998) makes a great resource.
