Managing Software Maniacs: Finding, Managing, and Rewarding a Winning Development Team

Rating:
Summary: Developer's eye view of Managing Software Maniacs
Review: After reading this book there was only one thing I took away with me. Ken Whitaker's ideal priority list for making decisions. His discussion on the why is most illuminating.

The rest of the book is somewhat wooly. I felt that for my needs (looking to move to technical lead) Rapid Development was a more worthwhile read.

Rating:
Summary: Loved it
Review: Ken's insights proved very useful in my research (we reference it in our latest AntiPatterns book). I especially enjoyed Ken's take on the popular "cubicles" versus offices debate. I recommend this as one of the many books software managers should read.
