Are you staring down a project that’s spiraling out of control? In Software Salvage: How to Rescue Your Failing Development Project, I share 25 years of hard-earned lessons from the front lines of software development—lessons that can help you turn a sinking project into a success story.
This book is your step-by-step guide to diagnosing and reversing the course of troubled tech initiatives. Whether you’re a CTO, business owner, or startup founder, you’ll discover clear, actionable strategies designed to get your project back on track. I blend real-world case studies—like the infamous Healthcare.gov and the cautionary tale of Theranos—with practical insights to show you exactly where things went wrong and how to fix them.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
* Identify the Early Warning Signs: Recognize the red flags of unclear goals, scope creep, and unrealistic deadlines before it’s too late.*
* Address Communication Breakdowns: Establish accountability and foster open dialogue across your team.
* Embrace the Rescue Mindset: Shift from crisis management to proactive leadership by simplifying complex challenges.
* Navigate Modern Challenges: Tackle the unique pressures of remote work, rapid scaling, and emerging technologies with confidence. Written in a straightforward, story-driven style, this book makes complex concepts simple and practical—even if you’re not a tech expert. It’s about cutting through the noise, focusing on what really matters, and guiding you to take decisive action. Stop watching your project crumble and start building a path to success. Let’s turn that failing project into your next great comeback story.
