Jim wrote “Dynamics of Software Development” in 1995, (about which Ron Jeffries, www.xpprogramming.com, said: “Jim was extreme before extreme was cool.”) Microsoft has released the 2006 edition of Dynamics. With his wife, Michele McCarthy, Jim has created the Core Protocols (now available in version 3.0), a collection of interpersonal protocols that support results-oriented behavior, the efficient aggregation of individual qualities into a greater whole, and the development and realization of shared visions.
