How to build-and lead-a world-class software development team!

In this book, expert software development manager Frank P. Ginac brings together world-class techniques for building and leading high-performance software development teams. Ideal for the first-line manager―especially managers transitioning from developer roles―this book offers start-to-finish guidance for delivering superior products, on time and on budget. Ginac focuses on the two most important elements of successful team building―people and leadership. He demonstrates exactly how to:

• Clearly outline your software project's business and technical goals
• Choose the right people for your team―and avoid the wrong ones
• Organize your software development team for success
• Fill gaps in your team's skills and experience
• Appraise individual and team performance
• Incorporate today's software quality best practices

Ginac shows you how to be a leader, not just a manager―and how to avoid the barriers to leadership, including politics, bureaucracy, and corporate popularity contests. You'll learn how to plan successfully―and how to build a team that executes your plans with passion.
