│ ôThere are many books available on software risks and software failures. │
│ There are very few books that provide step-by-step information on getting │
│ troubled software projects back on track. This book provides detailed │
│ guidelines for software project recovery. Some of the steps the author │
│ recommends may be unpleasant, but all are important.ö │

│ │
│ ôThis is a well-conceived, well-written, interesting book about an │
│ important topic. The author is right in saying that no one else has │
│ covered this particular facet of project failure.ö │

│ │
│ A 10-STEP PROCESS TO IDENTIFY SEVERELY TROUBLED PROJECTS AND AVOID COSTLY │
│ FAILURE │
│ │
│ ItÆs a software development nightmare: a project thatÆs rapidly spiraling │
│ out of control...or already a disaster. Conventional project management │
│ techniques wonÆt save these projects: there are no standard rescue │
│ processes to follow. You need something radically different: Catastrophe │
│ Disentanglement. │
│ │
│ Drawing on in-depth data from hundreds of development organizations, E.M. │
│ Bennatan presents a proven, 10-step program for rescuing any project │
│ thatÆs worth saving. YouÆll find specific guidance for addressing massive │
│ budget overruns, schedule slippage, poor qualityûor all three at once. │
│ Using practical examples drawn from decades of hands-on experience as a │
│ software development leader and consultant, Bennatan shows how to │
│ │
│ Evaluate where your project really stands │
│ Align your projectÆs developers, managers, and customers │
│ Defi ne the minimum acceptable project goals that are achievable │
│ Replan your project to successfully deliver the new minimum goals │
│ Identify risks in your revised project and create effective contingency │
│ Install an ôearly warning systemö to keep your rescued project from │
│ slipping back toward catastrophe │
│ Catastrophe Disentanglement is an effective, comprehensive approach to │
│ software project rescue. Whenever projects are in troubleûwhether you are │
│ a senior manager, project manager, team member, or software customerûthis │
│ book could save your career. │
