The first management book I ever bought myself, and I have often gone back to re-read whole chapters.
This book focuses on "productive projects and teams", and with chapters like "Make a Cheeseburger, Sell a cheeseburger" and "Open Kimono" there is a lot to chuckle about too.

The authors make the point that there is no fail-safe recipe for making a team 'gel' - or is that 'jel'? - but there are a hundred things you can do to ensure it doesn't. This book provides some sound reasoning behind the most frequently-found causes of this.

I would recommend this book to anyone managing teams of people. Particularly those in the IT world.

I also can recommend it. I have just finished it, having gotten a reco from Seth Godin's blog. It is quite good (though probably over done on the physical space bit.

These guys get it!

Good catch!

Great book.

AND, from Demarco, I'd also reccomend Slack! Another beautiful book.

Never connected the two! Wow... based on Peopleware, I'll get Slack now.

Thanks.
