#1 Hot New Release Award Winner This book provides true software development stories that may challenge long held thinking. It highlights 26 upside down principles along with upside down principle clarifying thoughts. At the end of each story you will find extended clarifying thoughts in the summary sections. I also highlight 18 coaching tips that can help you get your organization "right side up" with respect to performance. If you are wondering if a book that highlights coaching tips is for you, it is. I believe everyone in an organization should view themselves as a coach. In order to help coaches everywhere, in Part II I have framed the highlighted principles and coaching tips that have materialized from my stories within a framework I like to use called Essence. I find Essence to be a remarkably straightforward medium for communicating software development practices and fostering collaboration, even among non-technical stakeholders. > Praise for It's All Upside Down... "While reviewing this book, 99% of the time my feedback was either "this is exactly what I advise my clients" or "this is even better than what I've been advising". This book is full of pragmatic, insightful advice from the software process improvement trenches. Thanks Paul!" > "Sometimes we're so heads-down focused on following a process or a so-called best practice, we don't stop to ask if it really makes sense. It's easy to forget that process maturity depends upon such organizational introspection. 'It's All Upside Down' challenges the reader to do just that. Reading this book is, well, exactly like having a coffee with a coach and bona fide subject matter expert on the practical matters of software development. Paul's conversational style makes for a comfortable read which you can tackle cover to cover or simply a story or tip at a time - and then reflect on how it informs you with respect to the challenges you confront in your own projects, helping you essentially stand on your head and see a perspective you couldn't see before - because it's all upside down." > "... Paul gives the reader the right amount of information, at the right time, following a story-telling narrative. Very nice and super informative. I just experienced several months of consulting in 3 hours from the comfort of my chair." > Paul McMahon's latest book, "It's All Upside Down", expresses in words a thought that has been tickling the back of my mind for years; how we traditionally approach development has been acceptable, but there is a better way in many cases on how to practically proceed. Paul nails it with real world scenarios and solutions such that all readers may benefit from. > "There are few things as useful as a variety of perspectives on any given topic. This book does an outstanding job of showing non-traditional perspectives in areas where "herd thinking" and attitudes have excessively narrowed viewpoints. Supported by personal, highly interesting, true stories, the rationale for each of the "upside down" concepts is made clear, and recommendations are made for practical alternative thinking and action."

Academic Paper from the year 2016 in the subject Computer Science - Software, grade: 3.5, Riphah International University Islamabad (faculty of computing), course: SPM, language: English, abstract: The paper is about soft skills for project management. It discusses some of the important skills which are communication skills, negotiating skills, leadership, coaching, decision making and management. The general management literature indicates the importance of leadership and other such soft skills in management of organizations and in improving efficiency and output, as well as the importance of teamwork and the ability of a manager to create an environment in which the team can flourish. One technology company anecdotally indicates that 90¿95% of its documented performance issues annually are concerned with such soft skills as leadership, teamwork, management, and communication, with only the remaining 5¿10% concerned with an employee's technical knowledge or ability.
