To stay competitive, to survive, we need our software projects to succeed. But far too often, projects that should have succeeded fail. They fail because we canât see what is going on in them. They fail because we are seeing them in the wrong way. The message of this book is that we need to adopt the right point of view. Seeing things from the right point of view will make us smarter. It will allow us to successfully deliver projects, even when they seem impossible. Part 1 discusses seven ways of seeing software development projects that can make us smarter.
