Hey guys,
Reading this article was quite interesting and I thought I should share it with you.
The founder of Targetprocess, Michael Dubakov, shares his thoughts on how to improve speed, quality and efficiency over the whole development process:
http://www.targetprocess.com/articles/speed-in-software-development.html (http://www.targetprocess.com/articles/speed-in-software-development.html)
Our team does a few things to achieve this:
- We go out for an evening of paintball on Fridays with all colleagues who want to join (the company actually pays for it).
- From time to time we also participate in sport events like marathons as a team (nobody has to join, but everyone is welcome).
- We also tried to get people on a little free time robotic project, but in the end only a few were interested enough to sacrifice their time off.
I fully agree with Dubakov’s opinion about what a productive policy is for software development, but I am also interested in your thoughts about it. What possible actions could be taken/are you taking to improve productivity as well as conditions at your workspace?
Greetings
Kenrim

This is an old practice many large companies embrace when dealing with software related things. Shame that smaller companies don't usually get that/do that and are only about work.
