Book Review - Death March by Edward Yourdon
Category Book Reviews
If you've been working in IT for any length of time, you've experienced the "death march" project. Long hours, impossible demands, and no chance of meeting the unrealistic deadline that's been mandated from on high. To help you through that experience, you should read Death March by Edward Yourdon (Prentice Hall). It's an excellent book that examines the reasons behind why death march projects occur, as well as what can be done to make them somewhat more survivable without losing your wits or health.
