Will software
managers rush to purchase a copy of Dr. Katrina Maxwell's new book
Applied
Statistics for Software Managers? No, but they should. In
my experience most software managers do not understand basic statistics.
Many organizations collect data without any idea of what to do with
the data that has been collected. This book helps software
managers make better decisions and heads & tails out of their
data. The book is well written and does not require much statistical
or mathematical back ground. Visit the website
http://www.datamax-france.com/ for more information on Katrina
Maxwell, her consultation practice and this new book.

is an interesting and thought provoking book. What is “slack”?
Slack is the degree of freedom in a company that allows it to change.
Slack
is a top selling book because it examines software development from
an entirely different perspective. |

| As the title indicates and is the most rigorous book on the topic Software Metrics: A Rigorous & practical approach by Norman E. Fenton and Shari Lawrence Pfleeger. The book covers nearly every topic. The authors do not place judgment on which metrics to use, but provide a framework on how to use a variety of metrics. | |
