What is Peopleware : Productive Projects and Teams about?

The authors have, between them, 30 years experience of managing projects and of acting as project management consultants. In this book they offer their perspectives on managing people and maximizing productivity. Practical remedies are presented but the authors caution 'These remedies are anything but easy. They draw attention to the complex requirements of human individuality, to the highly political arena of the office environment to the challenge of keeping good people, to the intriguing, sometimes exasperating subject of teams, and finally to the elusive concept of fun.' Topics covered include: PART I - MANAGING THE HUMAN RESOURCE: Somewhere Today, a Project is Failing; Quality (If Time Permits); Parkinson's Law Revisited; PART II - THE PROJECT ENVIRONMENT: You Never Get Anything Done Around Here Between 9 and 5; Saving Money on Space; Brain Time Versus Body Time; The Telephone; PART III - THE RIGHT PEOPLE; PART IV - GROWING PRODUCTIVE TEAMS: The Whole is Greater Than the Sum of the Parts; Teamicide; Chemistry for Team Formation; PART V - 'IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE FUN TO WORK HERE': Chaos and Order
