We think this is by far the most advanced text and explanation of Evolutionary projectmanagement from any source. But we would appreciate feedback and challenges of any sort. We are also soliciting interested publishers for this, and in fact the whole related series of books ( the other two being the RDM manuscript and the soon to be born requirements Engineering book (August 98). The amin thing missing from this book manuscript is the case studies chapters. We have already received permission from JPL to reproduce Spucks paper in its entirety. We hope to do the 3 HP papers quoted in the text, 2 from Ericsson and an overview paper by Dorothy Graham. If you have, or know abou,t or want to submit a great cases study, don't be shy!
Title:
Evo: The Evolutionary Project Managers Handbook
Author:
Tom Gilb
What it is:
Unfinished book manuscript for Evolutionary Project Managers
Category:
Evolutionary Delivery.
Creation Date:
Drafted Summer 1997
Description:
This is the first draft (July 97) of a book on Evolutionary Project Management. It is pitched at the "Systems Engineering" level, but is quite applicable to software engineering and management strategic planning too. It is based on the concepts written about in the RDM Requirement Driven Management book manuscript (also unpublished, seeking a publisher, and also here on the website). It uses more or less exactly the same Glossary of Concepts for example. There are sets of Powerpoint slides made from the illustrations and the quotes which are in principle available for teachers on request (Gilb@acm.org), although they are not necessarily on the website.

 12 Tough Questions |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Author: | Tom Gilb | What it is: | Short paper "12 Tough Questions" with background information. | |||
| Category: | Management, Project Mangement. | Creation Date: | 1995 | |||
| Description: | Managers don’t ask tough enough questions about written material. I know because I have spent decades watching them fail to ask the questions which would have exposed the proposals as dangerous or not well thought out. I have to conclude that managers need training to ask these questions. But I forgive any reader who thinks that asking such questions is just good common sense. It is. The questions all refer to a larger method I teach; "Requirements Driven Management" and documentation in my past ("Principles of Software Engineering Management") and future books (RDM, Evo, Requirements Engineering (all working titles). But these books exceed 400 pages, the courses take several days. The patience of top managers for such detail is necessarily limited in a high pressure world. So this paper is offered as a simplification and an appetizer. If you want more substance and detail, it exists. If this alone is useful, be happy! |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Author: | Tom Gilb | What it is: | Paper | |||
| Category: | Systems Engineering, Design Engineering methods | Creation Date: | Version Nov. 21 1997 | |||
| Description: | How good is your design suggestion? Does anybody else really understand why you think the technology you suggest is such a great idea? Would you like to know how to shoot down those dumb ideas that your colleagues and those consultants manage to entice your managers with? Would you like a killer approach to prove your technical expertise to the world? We may have it right here! Impact Estimation (IE) Tables will allow you to analyze any technical or organizational idea in relation to requirements and costs. It's a method, I've developed over the last twenty years and it works! To give one example, shortly after we taught the idea to a manufacturing group, they declared it was worth a million dollars! Using IE for the first time, they presented a bid for project money to management and got the full budget they requested; $1million more than they had expected! |

To explain this broad approach to risk management, this paper discusses the way in which Requirements Driven Management (RDM) methods contribute to handling risks. |

| Title: | Software Inspections are not for quality, but for engineering economics |
|||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Author: | Tom Gilb | What it is: | Draft Article, we are interested in feedback. | |||
| Category: | Inspection | Creation Date: | Jan. 1999 | |||
| Description: | Software Inspections were developed at IBM and published in 1974-76 [1] more than a quarter century has passed and it is time to reassess them. Most literature on the subject is rooted in the initial IBM practices. Most professionals have an incomplete understanding of the traditional inspection and why it succeeded at IBM and elsewhere. But time and experience have led to many new practices which make Inspection more economic and useful than originally envisaged. The bottom line is that I believe that it is more relevant to view Inspection as a way to control the economic aspects of software engineering, rather than a way to get 'quality' by early defect removal. Quality needs to be multidimensional, specified in quantified requirements and architected, engineered and designed into software products. Inspection needs to be used to monitor the entire software engineering process. | |||||

| Description: | In 1994 Dick Holland and his group learned both Inspection, Defect Prevention Process, and Requirements Driven Management methods, in London from Kai and Tom Gilb. They produce software and services for the City investment market. Dick and his team did a great job of implementation of all of these methods. They turned business failure into business success by imaginative and persistent championing of these ideas. Dick is great at giving a lively and well illustrated presentation of the history. Plenty of facts, charts, quotes and conceptual big picture overview.
Primark Investment Management Services Limited. This is a model client of ours, our students and professional friends, explaining their experiences using Inspection and quantificatoin of business/technology objectives to serve their customers. Highly recommended reading. |

| Description: | This is the main description of the Planning Language (Planguage). It is the core text for a series of contracted (in Sept. 99) books to be published by Addison-Wesley. It is aimed at large multinational competitive industries, who are our main clients.
Subjects covered include Requirements Engineering, Design and Design Evaluation (Impact Estimation Tables). Specification Quality Control and Evolutionary Project Management. The approach of this method has been described as 'revolutionary'. The main difference could be summarized as devotion to defining and managing delivery of core stakeholder values (i. e. system qualities); while simultaneously managing development resources, and generic constraints. |
