5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Work....like the last one
Glass's book is an excellent & insightful book just like his previous book on software runaways. Having read academic and popular press literature on software risk & project risk with great interest, I would give this book 5 stars on its insightful organization. A MUST read for all of you folks suffering with lousy projects!

Not this author's best work
Robert L. Glass writes well and usually has something interesting and useful to say, but he wrote only 15% of the pages in this book. The rest of it is articles from publications such as the Wall Street Journal, CIO Magazine, Information Week, Global Technology Business, and Business Week. If you're a regular reader of these publications, as I am, much of this book...

Disappointing rehash,
By A Customer
This review is from: Computing Calamities: Lessons Learned from Products, Projects, and Companies That Failed (Paperback)
Most of the book is old articles copied from the trade press, with no effort to follow up! One would very much like to know what actually went wrong in these case studies of failure, but the author never exerts himself to find out.In addition the author's prose is filled with redundancies, as if it had never been edited. |
