The Human Factor in Software Engineering

My name is Andrea Herrmann. My exciting and adventurous work life has led me through many jungles and over many seas. For 7 years, I was sweating as a consultant and project manager in software and consulting projects. The other 9 years, I have been working as a scientist and in University teaching. I am now a private lecturer at the University of Heidelberg. Next semester, I´ll teach Project Management again. I am still doing some private research. My main job (this means: the one that pays my living) is at a company where I am the Research and Innovation Manager. Yes, it IS exciting. I am creative one hour a day and the rest of the day is real work, like writing consortium agreements or project reports. I am writing a lot anyway. Currently, my book about communication is growing, and there are also some nice little novels around. And now the blog.
