How to break down large problems into smaller ones, and organize them so they can be solved most efficiently.
Patterns focus on solutions.
Problem Frames and Methods combines pragmatic, technique-oriented coverage with reflective coverage for readers who wish to understand fundamental principles. To accomplish both goals, Jackson alternates sections built around practical examples and solutions with sections that illuminate general principles and show the underlying structure of the subject. Building on insights gained from considering the simplest problems, he ultimately describes problems that are extremely demanding and complex, thereby demonstrating the full scope and power of the problem frame technique. Michael Jackson has been a leader in software development methodology for nearly 40 years. He is in constant demand as an invited speaker at software conferences and seminars.
