Owners, hired managers, and the technicians: unity and the battle of opposites
|
Mikhail Kalinichenko
StarForce |
The efficiency of a programming company is defined by to what degree the activities of its staff coincide with the needs of its clients and the requirements for developing a market. At the same time a successfully-developing programming company, at some stage or other, inevitably encounters conflict of interest between three basic elements: owners, managers and programmers.
Combining these three functions in one person as a rule only exacerbates the problem.
The presentation will examine the basic stages of development, typical problems, possible ways of resolving them, and unrealistic dreams. |

On the methodologies of software development applied by Artezio
|
Alexander Lesnevsky
Artezio
Director of Production |
1. Selecting a methodology for carrying out a project
2. Types of projects in a company
3. Various methodologies and their adaptation depending on the type of project
4. Case studies
5. Conclusions
Today almost everybody understands that the waterfall model is far less suitable for constructing a software development process than the iterative model. Having decided upon the iterative model, the challenge is therefore to convince the client of its advantages and to not tumble into the waterfall. We strive to make sure the client is satisfied; however, the interests of the client are at times at odds with those of the project executer. The client wishes for the successful completion of the project, and at the same time expects that everything happens exactly the way it was proposed to him: "We confirm the technical specifications and work by them".
It must be asserted that the waterfall methodology is much more risky than iteration. At Artezio the waterfall model is only applied in support projects.
In all remaining instances the iterative model is used, furthermore as clients are more and more often agreeing to the adaptive model of fast development (agile).

|
Igor Morozov
IT Academy
Dean |
| Development of a quality management system begins, as a rule, with training. And for the support of a quality system one has to educate employees regarding the technologies, products and regulations in order to achieve conformity between all of the company processes and the established standards. Change management gets easier when a company's personnel is motived and has the necessary knowledge and skills. Employess acquire the skills through a system of continuous training that helps them to gain a better idea of their work and the company's business, its clients, and their own contribution to the company's sucess. When building a training system within a company it is necessary to develop not just an eduction programme, but to choose the most effective form of training forms in every direction and for each category of audience. |
