As noted in a previous blog posting, I’ve begun writing a new, updated edition of my Death March book, which was last updated in 2003.Having already uploaded the Table of Contents, Preface, and Chapter 1, and overview/intro to Chapter 2, I’ve now uploaded section 2.1, which is entitled “Identifying the Political Players in the Project.”
I expect to write/revise/upload the remaining sections of Chapter 2 over the next week or so, though I’ll probably be offline for the next four days, while I fly out to Salt Lake City for a family visit.
All of this is on a separate website from this blog — partly because I’m using Apple’s iWeb development tool to generate new content quickly and easily (with hyperlinks, graphic images, YouTube clips, Google Maps, RSS feed, and various other widgets), and partly to make it password-protected in order to keep spammers and hackers out.
Thus, if you’d like to see the new material as it evolves, and/or if you’d like to provide feedback and commentary, you’ll need to send an email message to ed [at] yourdon [dot] com. I’ll send back an email message with URL, user-id, and password.

I have really loved “Death March” since its publishment. Expecting new edition soon.

“Death March” and “The Mythical Man-Month” are the books that best describe what I’ve seen and experienced several times in my years as an IT consultant and contractor.
I can’t wait to read the updated version of this all-time classic. Thank you for taking the time to write an updated edition.
