Rethinking Systems Analysis and Design

Rating:
Summary: Timeless thoughts on profession of systems analyst
Review: If you have read the publisher's review above, ignore the reference to structured analysis and design. The mention of it dates the wonderful and timeless book.
Mr. Weinberg's style, wit and intellectual breadth is a rare treat in the technology world, dominated by undertrained and narrow-minded professionals. It is a pleasure to read any of his writings and this book is no exception.
Rethinking Analysis has two major themes : 1) Systems analyst must be well informed in the fields other then software and hardware. 2) The most of technology problems in organizations are really 'people problems'. Their solutions require a multi-disciplinary approach.
If you are a rookie, the book will help you to establish your professional benchmarks and choose your mentors wisely. If you are an experienced professional, it will make you realize how much you REALLY do not know.
