Peopleware is indeed a book that's well worth reading - much of what's been written about software teams in the 20+ years since its publication is just derivative. Another really good book is <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0932633420" rel="nofollow">The psychology of computer programming</a> by Gerald Weiberg. 35 years old, but still relevant. - Neil PS Tim Lister is speaking at <a href="http://www.businessofsoftware.org" rel="nofollow">Business of Software 2007</a> Matthew,

Thanks for the link to the interview. Peopleware is indeed a book that’s well worth reading - much of what’s been written about software teams in the 20+ years since its publication is just derivative.

Another really good book is The psychology of computer programming by Gerald Weiberg. 35 years old, but still relevant.
