Guide to Software Projects for Business People by Jonathan P. Crosby
Guide to Software Projects for Business People is a comprehensive course intended specifically for non-technical business people. As IT is making its way into virtually every aspect of all kinds and sizes of business, this book intends to make it easier for business people to grasp the different dimensions of IT, so that they can have a handle on this seemingly complicated aspect of their business.
Divided into three parts, this book guides the readers into different stages of the software development process; Conceptual, practical, and technical. Explaining the IT jargon and terminologies in a tremendously easy-to-follow manner, Crosby delivers a feasible path to digital transformation for business owners. Specifically, to those who find this transformation daunting, Guide to Software Projects for Business People is more than capable of becoming their first step.
How did it make me feel?
I was immediately drawn into this book when I found how the author was making the use of metaphors to explain different aspects of the software project. Being a Business Analyst myself, I found it extremely helpful when the author made use of real-life examples to describe how those fit exactly into the software development process. I can not only see how it can be helpful for non-technical business people, but I also realized that this book will be extremely helpful for technical people as well. Especially if you work in a team comprised of both technical and non-technical people. Guide to Software Projects for Business People is a perfect bridge for the people on both sides, helping them to achieve an extent of transparency that’ll be a driving factor in the success of any business.
If you’re a new business owner or you’re looking to transform your business to maximize the benefits with the help of IT, I recommend that you read this book to give yourself a good measure of what you can expect moving forward.
