I’m a great believer in teams; we all have our horror stories about failing teams, some of us will even have had the good fortune to have worked in great teams. That said, great teams aren’t common nor are they easy to assemble or maintain; any great team will have it’s share of dirt along the way.
“Beautiful Teams takes you behind the scenes with some of the most interesting software teams over the past 30 years. Through a series of fascinating personal stories from many of the industry’s leading programmers, architects, project managers, and thought leaders, you’ll go inside high-profile projects such as the development of Internet Explorer, the Boeing 777, Subversion, and some of the first Agile projects. Learn how extraordinary teams coped with challenges, and how their efforts led to superb — or disastrous — results”
