Improving Individual Productivity
 |
“We can help any motivated programmer, manager, or team improve their productivity by at least 20%. That's like getting one engineer for free for every five that we coach. ” |
I've spent a very long time in software development organizations, and I've seen a lot of workplaces; in my experience most programmers and managers spend up to 50% of their time in activities that don't contribute to producing the product. The nonproductive time disappears in a number of ways like:
- Inefficient time management
- Inability to delegate
- Stress-related exhaustion
- Poorly run or unnecessary meetings
- Inefficient development process
- Misunderstood requirements or design specs
- Inefficient testing and quality control
- Debugging that could have been avoided
- Inefficient design and code reviews
- Ineffective design and coding tools
How Does Coaching Help?
We're not time management specialists who tell people what to change. Instead we work with managers to help them analyze their own work style and to spot inefficiencies on their own. This coaching approach has some important advantages:
- Managers respond better to coaching than to a training regimen
- Managers are more motivated when they find inefficiencies themselves
- Managers get into the habit of looking for inefficiencies
- Managers can coach their staff in the same techniques
Why Choose ManagingProgrammers.com?
There are plenty of time management experts, and plenty of organizational development experts, but none of them can help managers spot inefficiencies in the development process, or to notice when programmers don't have the right tools, or to spot other problems specific to software development. We're a better choice because we understand the software development world and can help your managers spot inefficiencies that civilians would miss.
Improving your software development efficiency by 20% or more could save your schedule and help you stay within your hiring budget. So contact us to learn how we can help you and your staff be as productive as possible.
