Improving software development productivity

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.​
