Daniel's Book - Distinguished authors Daniel Freedman and Gerald Weinberg, over several years of consulting, found a similarity among the questions their clients had about formal reviews. In a clear, nontechnical style, this handbook addresses the wide range of questions typically asked. Freedman and Weinberg use what they learned as "outsiders" to help "insiders" conduct thorough evaluations of their projects.

Presented in a question/answer format, the handbook invites the reader to partake in an informative, lively conversation. Topics include the who, what, where, when, and why of conducting reviews, with special emphasis on how to proceed. Numerous checklists, sample forms, and guidelines supplement the authors' comprehensive and often witty answers.

This acclaimed third edition offers specific advice on the formulation of a review team and on the roles of management and the reviewers themselves. No walkthrough, inspection, or technical review can truly be complete without this professional handbook.
