About the author

ROY MILLER has spent over 10 years in IT, beginning with several large projects as a team lead and project manager at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), and most recently as a team lead, manager, and XP Coach at RoleModel Software. During that decade, he kept telling himself, "There has to be a more realistic way to create software people want and need." Managing Software for Growth is the result of his desire to prove it. Miller is the author of numerous articles and papers, and is the co-author of Extreme Programming Applied (Addison-Wesley), which he wrote with Ken Auer in 2002.
