In the groundbreaking book, four experts with broad experience in reuse research, methods, technologies, and practice present a unique approach to reuse assessment and adoption, which directly addresses these challenges. LIBRA offers a radically new, inquiry–based approach grounded in practical techniques for assessing an organization′s readiness for reuse, as well as potential barriers. These techniques integrate reuse concepts with a diverse set of other disciplines, including organizational learning, dramatic theory, and belief mapping to affirm the critical role of culture, belief, and attitude in engineering success.
LIBRA is essential reading for software project managers, strategic planners, CTOs and technology transfer agents, or working software engineers; and especially any advocate attempting to introduce reuse practices within an IT–intensive business setting. The multidisciplinary nature of this practical reference will also interest change agents in non–software fields, such as knowledge management and organizational development; and can serve as a graduate–level text for software engineering or management specialty courses.
