A team guide to Software Development
This guide is for new and established software development teams working in organistions that understand software isn't just a necessity – it's the mechanism by which they will achieve their mission and purpose.
Software is the pervasive technology of the 21st century. As the private, public and third sectors adapt their operating models to have software at both the forefront and foundation of their services, they have to transform into internet-era organisations.
At the core of these organisations are the teams who produce the software that drives their success. These teams must adapt to ever-changing market and environmental conditions. They aren't part of a production line working in widget factories – they are problem solvers and innovators and need to be empowered as such.
In this guide you will find: articles on what a successful team looks like, how to set one up for success, technical advice for evolutionary architectures, team practices and importantly how to have fun while delivering working software.
The guide is a work in progress, with new content released weekly. You can sign up for updates by email below. Enjoy and good luck out there!
