Two of the computer industry's best-selling authors and lecturers return with a new edition of the software management book that started a revolution.

With humor and wisdom drawn from years of management and consulting experience, DeMarco and Lister demonstrate that the major issues of software development are human, not technical—and that managers ignore them at their peril.

Now, with a new Preface and eight new chapters—expanding the original edition by one third—the authors enlarge upon their previous ideas and add fresh insights, examples, and anecdotes.
