He has had responsibilities in development, testing, marketing, program management, user education and general management. Leading software development teams at Bell Labs, The Whitewater Group, and Microsoft Corporation. Since 1996, Jim has devoted himself to researching groups and how they create products and organizations. Jim uses a teamwork lab (McCarthy BootCamp, a product development simulation) and in situ research at corporations large and small, worldwide. 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.
