Improving software development productivity

Improving software development productivity, Improving software development productivity. Practical techniques.

What you”ll learn:

• This course will help you easily improve the productivity of your team. All those who are engaged in the development of various kinds of software and not only
• This course will be useful not only for the technical leader of the development group, but also for managers of different levels, developers and testers.​
• Task management. Version control systems. Bug tracker.
• Automatic machines and scripts in project work

Description

What will be in the course:​

• Personal experience;​
• How I structured the work in my team;​
• What my team and I use;​
• What are the alternatives to my tools;​
• Which helped speed up development.​

What this course will not include:​

• A huge amount of theory;​
• Calculations that prove how to design;​
• Imposing opinions and proving that problems need to be solved only this way and nothing else.​

As a result, this course will be useful not only for the technical leader of the development group, but also for managers of different levels, developers and testers.​

The topics of the lessons that will be discussed in this course are shown on the slide:​

1. Introductory lesson;​
2. Team and roles in it;​
3. Technical task;​
4. Work planning;​
5. Task management systems;​
6. Architecture;​
7. Version control systems, version accounting;​
8. Codestyle;​
9. Description of the code;​
10. Automatic generation of documentation;​
11. Testing;​
12. Bug life cycle, Bug tracker;​
13. Automatic tests;​
14. Automatic machines and scripts;​
15. Instructions;​
16. Summing up and my results.​

For each topic, there will be an explanation of how this innovation in the development process will help increase efficiency.​

By efficiency, I mean the following measured parameters:​

• The number of mechanical errors will decrease;​
• Development time will be reduced;​
• The error search time will decrease;​
• The time to attract a new developer will decrease;​
• The accuracy of the development forecast and adherence to plans is increased.​

And not measurable, which will also get better:​

• It will become easier to hand over the product to the customer;​
• Developers’ interest will increase.
