A white paper about software development and engagement.
Beyond the methodologies and the software life-cycle management techniques, the human factor in a development team can be also represented in three main dimensions, such as integration (the level of technical coupling between developers and their tools), sharing (a common understanding and refinement of the best practices and experiences in software development) and affinity (the propagation of common value to enhance the developers’ collective intelligence).
Human factor impact is heavily based on the concept of engagement: the paper will deepen the underlying implications of a common approach which allows to address integration, affinity and sharing using a developer engagement platform. The platform enables skills, experiences and – mostly important – ideas generation based on reward mechanisms and continuous proposition-refinement-execution of new ideas.
