Software Sizing, Estimation, Risk Management Book Available in Japanese

June 16, 2008 · Filed Under General

I received copies of the book Software Sizingl, Estimation, and Risk Management: When Performance is MEasured, Performance Improves, translated into Japanese. I dont know the link to purchase the Japanese version yet. The English version may be obtained via http://www.amazon.com/Software-Sizing-Estimation-Risk-Management/dp/0849335930/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213648096&sr=8-1 I am honored that the Japanese publisher found this book valuable enough to translate and look forward to much dialog with Japanese speakers on this. I originally envisioned this book as the elements fo software sizing. The publisher thought it would be better to include estimation as well. Mike Evans, my coauthor, thought we should do this as a series of three books. We had another book planned “7 Characteristics of Dysfunctional Software Projects” when Mike became terminally ill. Mike thought that book should still be written but I haven’t been able to bring myself to write that book without Mike.
