Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 320 pages. Signed by author on ffepAn impossible deadline. A runaway project. And then you get the 5:30 a.m. pho ne call. what could possibly be wrong? Rolling Rocks Downhill is a fast, fun a nd often funny read. It's a business novel, just like Eli Goldratt's classic The Goal, where you sit on the characters' shoulders, watching them fight to save t heir jobs and their baby - a large software-intensive project, called FPP, that has been running late since day 1, but now, suddenly, needs to launch on an impo ssibly early date, or else. You feel their pain, and their joy, as they battle p roblem after problem until, slowly, torturously, they rediscover the few - but f undamental - principles underlying successful commercial software development. S ometimes you're a step ahead. Sometimes a step behind. Sometimes it feels like y ou're sitting in the room with them . Reviews and Recommendations Johanna Roth man, author of Jolt Productivity award-winning Manage It! Your Guide to Modern, Pragmatic Project Management: Maybe one of your teammates or someone in manageme nt has the bright idea that maybe transitioning to agile or lean will help. Mayb e it does in some small way. But, it's not enough. You're on a death march, iter ation by iteration. Or, with your board, you can see that you are making progres s, but you're not working fast enough.Or, you're not delivering what your custom ers need. You're still trying to do it all. Why? Because it takes you forever to release anything.You know there's another piece to this. You just don't know wh at.You need to read Clarke Ching's Rolling Rocks Downhill. J. B. Rainsberger, au thor of JUnit Recipes: Just as The Goal sought to bring common sense back to man ufacturing, so this book seeks to bring common sense back to a software industry.
