This is a long shot because I'm looking for a book and I don't know the title. But people have come up with answers for me with less than this to go on, so it's worth a try.

About 8-10 years ago I saw, in a software development magazine, a review of a book written by an expert on software project management. It was a fictional account of a project meant to be both a great read and a book that teaches about project management for software projects. Of course, things have probably changed a bit in the years inbetween, but I've always been interested in the book and would love to get hold of it. The reason I think someone may recognize what I'm talking about is that I believe it was fairly mainstream, in particular I have this vague (and maybe incorrect) impression that the author was at least known or had a high profile position.

Any ideas? Surely, there can't be too many fictional books about software projects along those lines.
Thanks!
