In recent days I've been toying with an idea that the truth will not let me live too quiet. The consultants
software and where I work, work is sadly usual improvised, poorly planned, with very little generation of documentation that may be useful to development teams ... in short, every day many consultants: what I am going to tell?.
The thing is that this disorder, this chaos is caused by previous riots, chaos base: poor sales, ignorance at all levels of the hierarchy, lack of interest in methodology, lack of training and basic knowledge ... and here comes the problem: "do not do things because they did not have time or resources, and we have no time or resources because we do things right." That is, we got used a "bullfight" problems in our daily lives and believe that this is "normal consulting," when actually we have a number of tools left by our "elder brothers of the software, grouped under the name of software methodologies which are specifically designed to help prevent the amount of "brown" raining down daily.
We have some very valuable recommendations from real life, arising from previous failures to ours and yet still giving back.
recently attended a course for software analysts and she gave a very interesting idea, and that is: "even though your company is not favors this type of "good practices", and although it is impossible to quickly introduce this change in the mindset of the development teams and consultants in general, we must fight for change from the base.
This change (which undoubtedly will result in our personal benefit as much as the company) must first be a personal change in your day to day, relying on the implementation of good practices of software engineering personal level, then extend this philosophy to your team. "
Obviously I'm not talking about an instantaneous change, but should a mid-term objective, which should not be overshadowed the hysteria of the day to day. Writing
latter comes into my head the phrase: "That the urgent does not blind you to what is important" to implement maximum interest in our work.
I await your opinions. For my part I will write the results of this "paradigm shift", this change in mentality.
Greetings Juan Fernández
