Change Done Well is the ninth volume in the highly acclaimed Quality Software series. In it, renowned author, Gerald M. Weinberg, illustrates how to create a supportive environment for improving software engineering —an environment in which your organization can realize long-lasting gains in quality and productivity by learning how to manage change.The history of software engineering is riddled with failed attempts to improve quality and productivity without first creating a supportive environment. Many managers spend their money on tools, methodologies, outsourcing, training, and application packages, but these managers rarely spend anything to improve the way in which these hoped-for improvements are adopted and used correctly.From systems thinking to project management to technology transfer to the interaction of culture and process, Change Done Well analyzes transformation from a broad range of perspectives, providing a breadth of awareness essential for successful transformation to high-quality software creation.Topics include:• Starting Projects Correctly• Sustaining Projects Correctly• Terminating Projects Properly• Building Faster By Building Smaller• Protecting Information Assets• Managing Design• Introducing Technology• The Diagram of Effects• The Software Engineering Cultural Patterns• The Satir Interaction Model• Control Models• The Three Observer Positions• and much more
