Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

How can you help your software team improve? This concise book introduces codermetrics, a clear and objective way to identify, analyze, and discuss the successes and failures of software engineers--not as part of a performance review, but as a way to make the team a more cohesive and productive unit.

Experienced team builder Jonathan Alexander explains how codermetrics helps teams understand exactly what occurred during a project, and enables each coder to focus on specific improvements. Alexander presents a variety of simple and complex codermetrics, and teaches you how to create your own.

• Learn how codermetrics changes long-held assumptions and improves team dynamics
• Get recommendations for integrating codermetrics into existing processes
• Ask the right questions to determine the type of data you need to collect
• Use metrics to measure individual coder skills and a team's effectiveness over time
• Identify the contributions each coder makes to the team
• Analyze the response to your software and its features--and verify that you're meeting team and organizational goals
• Build better teams, using codermetrics to make personnel adjustments and additions
