About the Book

Change is inherently dangerous. Moreover, change becomes even more dangerous when we don't know what we're doing. Attempts to change software organizations commonly fail because of inadequate understanding of change dynamics -- the same reason the organizations got into crisis in the first place.

Jerry Weinberg concludes his series of four stand-alone volumes with this pragmatic, comprehensive testament on the fundamentals of change management.

From systems thinking to project management to technology transfer to the interaction of culture and process, this volume analyzes change from a broad range of perspectives, spanning the spectrum of sources of organizational change. Such breadth of awareness is essential for successful management of system evolution.


Review :
"Gerald Weinberg, one of the truly original thinkers who write about organizational factors influencing software development, often provides me with the opportunity to say 'aha.' . . . Anticipating Change addresses how to create an environment conducive to implementing the software engineering culture he describes in the first three books of the series. What is fascinating about Weinberg's approach to software development management is how his perspective encompasses such diverse sources as family therapy theories, personality type studies, and experiences drawn from years of consulting for software development organizations." "I doubt if many of us can read backwards (literally) and make much sense, but if you mean, 'Can I read Volume N before some earlier volume?' the answer is certainly yes. I've worked hard to make that possible, and different people have told me it works for them. The whole process is a cycle, so it's rather arbitrary where you start--and different folks have different preferences for where they start the series." "This fourth volume presents a recipe for a quality software engineering organization. . . . [Weinberg] recognizes the importance of tools for the delivery of high-quality software and software services, but he correctly suggests a much larger set of technologies, which includes formal and informal organizational relationships; technical reviews and planning approaches; standards; measurements; and technical infrastructure, such as networks, hardware, and software tools."
