What's more important in software development; culture or process?
I hope you found last week’s revelation about hiring insightful.
This week we’ve been talking with a lot of clients about culture vs process and which one is more important? ??
For us, culture and process are intertwined. Successful business as usual (BAU) is about hearts and minds plus effective working practices. These working practices only become ingrained when developers understand ‘why’ something is important. So that when pressure mounts, everyone is pulling in the same direction.?
Top Tip: Take your teams on a journey and make them a part of the solution. Take the time to help them understand what ‘good’ looks like, what ‘done’ looks like and why you’re doing what you’re doing. So your teams aren’t just doing something because you’ve asked them to.
?
Get clear on how to improve your process and culture.
We’ll be back next week with another question and software development tip regarding all things people, process and culture.
