Ebook: The Software Development Edge: Essays on Managing Successful Projects

Over the course of a legendary career, Joe Marasco earned a reputation as the "go to" software project manager: the one to call when you were facing a brutally tough, "make or break" project. Marasco reflected on his experiences in a remarkable series of "Franklin's Kite" essays for The Rational Edge, Rational and IBM's online software development magazine.
