		Humphrey makes the case clearly, concisely, and convincingly for the need for all executives to learn the basics of how software can be used to improve their business.
		Whereas the first four books by Humphrey, published between 1989 and 1999, were aimed at individual software engineers and technical managers, this one is for higher level decision makers who are probably wondering why software development seems to be a money pit while other enterprise business units manage to operate with some degree of efficiency.
		What I like about the book is Humphrey's complete change of tone from his previous books, which were written for technical professionals, to appeal to business executives.
