The book "Death March" by Edward Yourdon - "how to survive projects that are doomed to fail" 'The complete software developer's guide to surviving "mission impossible" projects' In this book, Yourdon guides you through: - surviving projects that are doomed to fail - managing people and setting priorities - choosing tools - when it is time to walk away ISBN 0-13-748310-4 This book is a must read when you want to have a feeling of how y2k projects will be done the coming years. He mentions y2k asone of the applicable areas: "So, why am I so certain that death march y2k project teams are forming while I write this book in the summer of 1996, and that even more frantic projects will be initiated in 1997, 1998 and 1999?" A lot of very interesting issues are discussed; I will mention a few: Introduction - why do D.M. projects happen? - why do people participate in D.M. projects? ... Politics - identifying the political players in the project ... Negotiations ... People in D.M. projects - hiring and staffing issues - loyalty, commitment. motivation, rewards ... Processes - the concept of 'Triage' - best practices and worst practices - risk management ... John
