Last month I asked the list about JoAnn's book. I had about a dozen
responses, ranging from positive to glowing. Everyone recommended the
book, and a couple of people also recommended the seminar.
I'm about a third of the way through the book and I'm finding it very
interesting and already useful.
In fact just this morning I quickly reviewed the section on info
gathering and and creating an Information Plan, before going in to
a project meeting. The lead developer looked a bit shell shocked
when it was over -- I think that's a good sign ;^)
