Hi,
I just read an interesting article (interview with Fred Brooks).
See: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1600886
Eoin: The book contains a lot of explicit and implicit advice for those
who must manage design projects. What would your top three pieces
of advice for such managers be?
Fred:
1. Choose a chief designer separate from the manager and give him
authority over the design and your trust.
2. Plan for the iterative discovery and screening of requirements.
3. Prototype (or simulate with models, etc.) early and get real user
feedback on real use scenarios early and often.
I immediately thought of the Python "process" as a real life example
of this working! Fortunately too, the "crop" of "manager"s is also
growing!
Congratulations to all that have been part of this process!!
Cheers,
--ldl
