Creating Software Requirements Processes

It's hard to perfect your software development process without a solid requirements process in place.

I just finished up this video about software requirements processes that covers

• How requirements are done in different software processes


• Proper requirements formats


• Who should be involved in the requirements writing

Enjoy!

Risk Management in Software Development

 

One of the tenets of many mainstream software development processes is proactively managing risk.

Of course this sounds like a good idea, but the question becomes: how do you do it?

I've learned that addressing the riskiest areas in a project first usually creates the biggest returns. This is difficult, however, because most people gravitate to the easy things first.

The problem with going with our natural tendencies is that we can tackle a lot of easy things without actually accomplishing anything of significance. And if the risky thing doesn’t work out as planned we may have to throw away some of the prior work, which is always a major frustration.

I'm curious how my readers manage risk in a software development process. Let me know!

Software Development Process Implementation: Things to Consider

 

I just finished this video explaining the most critical aspects of implementing a software development process.

It's an issue that I'm fanatical about, especially because it involves basic software development process strategies that can save companies tons of money and time. (And who doesn't love extra money and time?)

Anyway, the video is 4:23 long, and introduces the below topics.

• Requirements

• Design

• Testing

• Source Control
