Ch 3
In most projects, the programmers steer what features will be on the system. Managers give them a list and programmers weed out what they feel will not be done in a realistic time fame. Users do not seem to care much for added features so long as they can accomplish their goals with the product. The goal and use of a product should be the most important thing over release date. It is no good to meet a release date with a unusable product.
Ch 4
This chapter discusses user friendliness. Today's technology, is expected to interact with users in an easy and intuitive way. Preferably the way they interact with other humans. The current software tries to tend to our needs but sometimes doesn't by constraining us into an enclosed state where it thinks it is doing what we need. We need more flexibility in today's software.
Ch 5
The design of a product is the most outstanding part of a project. We must deliver products that encase all the features and design the user wants. It is all about the end product over the release date.
Discussion:
The book is giving good information in my opinion. It is more release driven and gives us advice an topics I feel haven't been covered as much in other books. I look forward to reading more of this.
