摘要

Readers will find a good bridge between real-world practice and theoretical guidelines and measures for software process improvements for practicing professionals in this book. It begins by highlighting that collectively we fall short of achieving sustainable performance improvements in spite of practices such as Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), lean Six Sigma, or agile. It pushes forward the concept of deliberate practice, a technique that enables personal and organizational performance improvements. Through its chapters, organized under three parts, the book identifies 15 fundamental practices to effect sustainable performance improvements. Note that there is not a one-to-one correlation between the fundamentals and chapters in the book.
