1. Software Development – The problem is of plenty, not scarcity
Software developers often are faced with a bewildering array of choices
while developing software. Oftentimes frameworks, tools and technologies
are mandated by client organizations to development teams. It is very
possible that the team members are not exposed to at least one of the
important technologies, tools or frameworks.
In the rush to shorten the learning curve and to get the development
completed, very often basic development guidelines for successful
development are ignored. Basic principles of object orientation and
modularity of code are ignored and several transversal functions are
unstated and are not met. This is discovered half way through the
development and in order to accommodate various stated and unstated
need, the development goals of code quality are almost never met.
While problems occurring due to limited time for development and
developer skills deficits can never be completely done away with, the
issues with lack of knowledge on specific tools and technologies can be
met. This can be overcome by creating a template for significant parts of
the code, say the primary types of components, thus ensuring the common
concerns such as modularity, error handling, logging are met. This will also
ensure that developers have a short learning cycle, so that they learn the
exact few basics to get them started and provide for them to learn
advanced learning techniques as they gain experience on the tool.
The key periods of intervention will be utilization of an architect level
resource for 2-3 weeks to build the scaffolding, and then reviews and
course correction before the first iteration.
