Peopleware : Productive Projects and Teams
by Tom Demarco, Timothy Lister
Peopleware - Productive Projects and Teams (ISBN 0-932633-43-9) is a popular 1987 book, written by software consultants Tom DeMarco and Timothy Lister, on the inside world of software developing teams, in a manner such as to highlight the real-world conflicting natures between individual work perspective and corporate ideology. Peopleware may be compared to the movie Office Space, but with statistics, models, and theories. Some describe the book as an anti-Dilbert manifesto. Topics include team jelling, group chemistry, corporate entropy, flow time, "teamicide" and workspace theory (for optimization).
