This practical guide provides ten best practices to help team leaders create an effective working environment through key adjustments to their process. Joost Visser, Sylvan Rigal, Gijs Wijnholds and Zeeger Lubsen argue that poor software quality continues to plague enterprises of all sizes because of the process, rather than individual developers, and describe ways to improve this.
The book is a follow-up to their previous title, Building Maintainable Software, and the authors offer lessons based on their assessment of development processes used by hundreds of software teams. Each practice includes examples of goalsetting to help you choose the right metrics for your team.
