5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding CTO/CIO coaching resource,
By Maria T. and David L. Decker (Beverly, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Technology Blueprints: Technology Foundations for High Performance Companies (Paperback)
This book is, as far as I know, one of a kind. It presents an amazingly insightful set of patterns and anti-patterns that span the realm so near and dear to the CTO. These patterns range from organizational roles, to Architecture (with a capital "A", of course...), to development processes that are key to successful outsourcing. Viewed as a CTO/CIO coaching resource, I believe it's unique in this thesis. More importantly, it's unique in its quality. I can appreciate the breadth and depth of Dr. Butler's abstracted experiences, many (if not all) of which resonate with my own past lives. As a long-time Architect and current CTO, I am convinced that such writing could only emanate from a combination of painfully-learned lessons and a very strong intellect. Cast in the spirit of the "patterns" literature that so appeals to computer scientists, and written with a clear and subtly humorous style, I see it as must reading for all who aspire to, profess to, or currently do occupy one of the corner offices. I really wish that this book had been written years earlier, as I've personally experienced more of the pathologies than I'd care to admit. Well done!!! |
