Summary: Great book
Review: The idea of Product Platform or Product Architecture as being the basis for longer term success hadn't been something that I had taken into consideration in any depth before I read this book. Certainly being able to work with code and making sure it was "maintainable", and free of spagetti, was not new, but this book helped clarify for me the details of why it's imporant to plan out the product platform, and how a smartly based strategy that focuses the team on the platform first and the emd-user feature set in view of that, really improves the stability and performance of the product. The team at Ernst and Young in Seattle that I worked with used this book as a reference as we built new web-based technologies. Thank you Michael McGrath! I see there's a new version just released this month, and I will be purchasing it.
