, Most conventional approaches to IT development assume
that you're building entirely new systems. Today, “Greenfield”
development is a rarity. Nearly every project exists in the
context of existing, complex system landscapes—often
poorly documented and poorly understood. Now, two of
IBM's most experienced senior architects offer a new
approach that is fully optimized for the unique realities
of “Brownfield” development.

Richard Hopkins and Kevin Jenkins explain why accumulated
business and IT complexity is the root cause of large-scale
project failure and show how to overcome that complexity
“one bite of the elephant at a time.” You'll learn how to manage
every phase of the Brownfield project, leveraging breakthrough
collaboration, communication, and visualization tools—
including Web 2.0, semantic software engineering, model-
driven development and architecture, and even virtual worlds.
