Abstract:

Delivering quality software on-time is hugely difficult - only 30% of software projects over the last 10 years have been classed as "Successful". Larger team sizes and a heterogeneous environment can lower productivity, increasing the overhead of management, co-ordination and communication between organisational/technical "silos". For developers this frequently translates to too much time spent on process rather than coding. In this session we will examine a low-overhead approach which enables development teams to collaborate effectively (irrespective of technology), while measurably improving quality, clarity and efficiency.
