520    Equip yourself to navigate organizational politics in the 
       world of software development. This book will help you 
       understand the power dynamics at work between competing 
       stakeholders with conflicting goals in projects and 
       organizations. Politics in Software Development consists 
       of three main parts. Author Peter Wendorff begins by 
       defining key concepts in organizational politics. He then 
       moves on to software development processes and 
       investigates how their design reflects stakeholder 
       interests. In the final part, he highlights the role of 
       political skill in software development and provides an 
       overview of tactics that stakeholders frequently use. 
       There is widespread competition within organizations for 
       rewards, recognition, status, and power. It gives rise to 
       political behavior of stakeholders, which is generally 
       seen as a problem. This negative view of organizational 
       politics tends to overlook its positive functions. For 
       example, it can also be thought of as an arena where 
       stakeholders with conflicting goals can argue, persuade, 
       negotiate, bargain, and cooperate to address conflicts. 
       Political conflict resolution regularly happens in 
       organizations in an entirely civilized manner. It helps 
       find agreements that reconcile differences in a 
       constructive way, and it is needed because stakeholder 
       conflicts are simply a natural aspect of organizations. 
       While there is much literature about organizational 
       politics, very few authors consider the specifics of 
       software development. This book addresses both subjects 
       and is written for an audience interested in a political 
       perspective on software development. What You'll Learn 
       Recognize and understand political activities in 
       organizations Understand what software processes have to 
       do with stakeholder power and interests Acquire 
       fundamental political skills for dealing with politics in 
       software development Who This Book Is For Project managers,
       lead developers, team leaders, team coaches, product 
       owners, business analysts, developers, and other software 
       professionals. This book is also suitable for students in 
       software engineering.
