Welcome to the Software Process and Measurement Cast 181!\nThe Software Process and Measurement Cast 181 features my essay titled, Manufacturing, Engineering or Craft? \xa0The essay begins . . .\nA few weeks ago I sat next to a gentlemen on a flight to Albuquerque. \xa0After a couple of glasses of wine we found we were in related fields. \xa0As the conversation progressed he confided in me that he did not understand why software projects were never on time, on budget or exactly what he wanted since software development was engineering and his consultants had called development a factory. I paid for the next round of wine as I tried to dissuade my new friend that building, enhancing or maintaining software was not really like assembling a car.\nShameless Ad for my book!\xa0\n co-authored by Murali Chematuri and myself and published by J. Ross Publishing. We have received unsolicited reviews like the following: "This book will prove that software projects should not be a tedious process, neither for you or your team."\nHave you bought your copy?\n\nContact information for the Software Process and Measurement CastEmail: \xa0spamcastinfo@gmail.comVoicemail: \xa0+1-206-888-6111Website: www.spamcast.netTwitter: www.twitter.com/tcagleyFacebook: \xa0http://bit.ly/16fBWV\nNext\nThe Software Process and Measurement Cast 182 features my interview with Corey Haines, Software Journeyman. \xa0Simply put WOW!
