I am looking for a good book that explains software development to non developers. My goal is to educate business owners (non technical folks) on the software development process, its hurdles, problems, methods etc. The book should be written from a non programmer's perspective. I found in my software development career that if the business owners, stakeholders are knowledgeable about the software development process - projects tend to run much smoother. Please share your comments. Thanks!
