Squeeze more out of the construction phase of software development

Overview Changes in the way software is developed mean that organizations need to make changes to the way that they plan for projects.

Software creation and the application development process are evolving as organizations begin to incorporate the latest techniques. Agile development, reusable code, and common libraries have combined to compress the construction phase of software development. This download explores the impact these changes are having on application development and considers the consequences they will have on future development projects.

Have you incorporated new development techniques into your organization's processes? Have these new techniques compressed construction? Have they improved efficiency or is your organization still experiencing the learning curve?

This download is also available as a TechRepublic article.
