	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Time Bomb 2000!, by Edward Yourdon, Paperback, Older Edition
		The Yourdons are not offering a placebo solution: "...given the complexity of the problem, we think it's pretentious for anyone to suggest that he or she [has one]." In lieu of a solution, the Yourdons have delineated the issues necessary for the noncomputer expert to consider in the face of Time Bomb 2000.
		The Yourdons (Edward is the author of 25 computer books) offer a doomsday scenario of what life might be like if techno gurus aren't able to correct, on a universal scale, an oversight born when programmers failed to see the significance of the double zeros at the beginning of year 2000.

	Death March author Ed Yourdon admits he was wrong - SunWorld - July 1997 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Yourdon became known as one of the most important founders of modern software engineering principles, but his ideas were more admired in theory than put into actual practice.
		If you believe Ed Yourdon's earlier process-obsessed view of the world, then somehow, during the history of the computer, programmers metamorphosed from "genius rocket scientists" to Dilbert-like zhlubs who write COBOL code in large banks: mechanical craftsmen who are more analogous to bricklayers than to architects.
		Analogously, Yourdon notices that the most productive software teams are those that are given the freedom to choose their own tools, methodologies, and working styles.

		Edward Yourdon has produced a wise and highly readable book on the entire death march phenomenon and the best way to steer through one.
		This silly prophecy only served to expose Yourdon for the fly-by-night, fast-talking, hourly-rate, con artist that he is. In other words, Ed completely undermined his reputation with every CIO in the industry.

		While the corporate goal of such projects is to overcome impossible odds and achieve miracles, the personal goal of the project manager and team members often shrinks down to mere survival- keeping one's job, maintaining some semblance of a relationship with one's spouse and children, and avoiding a heart attack or ulcer.
		This new and thoroughly-updated edition of Ed Yourdon's book takes into account many of the changes that have taken place in the more than six years since the publication of the first edition.
		In Death March, Second Edition, Ed Yourdon sheds new light on the reasons why companies spawn Death Marches and provides you with guidance to identify and survive death march projects.

	4wheelz—Edward Yourdon > Death March, Second Edition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Yourdon does review the options for a team lead faced with no-win situations, and the book is useful for helping you think clearly and cast a wide net for solutions when you feel despondent and desperate.
		The sad fact of the matter, which Yourdon points out, are that Death March projects are the norm and not the exception - no argument from me there.
		I would say this would be a good book to learn from (i.e., how not to have Death March projects), but the problem is that most of the things that make projects a Death March are out of the control of the 'Average Joe' on the project.

		While the Yourdons occasionally use Internet-based Y2K slang, such as TEOTWAWKI (which, for the uninitiated, means "the end of the world as we know it"), it's not likely that they'll be carving out space in a hillside somewhere.
		Yourdon's last shred of credibility evaporated on 01/01/00.
		Ed Yourdon, Gary North, and all the other Y2K nuts are frauds and demagogues, and I am sure it will only be a matter of time before they concoct some new doomsday scheme.
