All-New Insights from the Authors of Peopleware
Perfect for a Lunch-Time Training Session

About the DVD

Here's all-new advice from Peopleware authors DeMarco and Lister on how to make teams form and perform as never before.

In this hour-long DVD, these gifted presenters offer their unique perspectives on how a true team is greater than the sum of its individual parts. Such a team—a jelled team—is a group of people so strongly focused toward a common goal and so highly productive, they are destined for success.

In such a team, there's a true sense of community with no destructive competition within the team. Learn new ways to help teams jell and prevent teamicide.

Nobody makes more sense on this important subject than DeMarco and Lister. Jell your team today!

"If you want to create effective project teams, not just talk about them, you'll want this video. . . . If this tape doesn't get [your staff] debating, rethinking, and improving the way they work in groups, they're probably dead."

 —Janet Ruhl
author of The Programmer's Survival Guide


 "a solid introduction to the role of teams in changing organizations. . . . concrete advice on how a manager can contribute to the success of a team and why that support is essential. . . . valuable insights into why teams are so important to the success of our organizations, and how we can help them to emerge and 'jell.' . . . This video can help the IT professional to manage, lead, and participate in more successful teams."

 —Mark Luker
CAUSE/EFFECT


"DeMarco and Lister clearly understand the human element of software development. Productive Teams presents their collective wisdom regarding the very difficult problem of managing a diverse team of very human programmers."

Grady Booch
Chief Scientist, Rational Software Corporation


"Fans of Peopleware (as I am) will enjoy Productive Teams. The interplay between Tom and Tim is a pleasure to see and hear, and, as usual, their insights hit home."
