Effective Systems Development for Small Teams
Answer these questions honestly:
Do you consistently meet your customers’ expectations in terms of:
· On-schedule delivery?
· Quality of delivery?
· Completeness of functionality?
· Completeness of testing?
Do you consistently meet your and your co-workers’ expectations in terms of:
· The hours you work each day?
· The need for weekend work?
· The space and time to introduce new technologies?
· The ability to keep on top of all the other demands of a small development business?
· The money you earn for the hours you actually put in?
If you answer "No" to any of these questions you might like to join in this session as Mike describes his attempts to find the Holy Grail of Development! Has he found it? Only time and this session will reveal the truth. [If you answer "Yes" to all the questions you can come and tell Mike where he has been going wrong over the past 30 years].
At the very least, this session will introduce you to:
· a new way of estimating project completion dates;
· how to work on a project as a team;
· the need for source control;
· how and in what sequence to design multi-level architectures so that multiple skill sets can be brought to bear on a project in parallel.
There are no pre-requisites for this session. No matter what development tools you are currently using this session is about the principles of effective development. The details are left to you to decide when you return to your office.
Level: General Audience.
Requirements: No requirements.
