Team / Company

COMMUNICATION

IS

KEY

COM with the client

• Always work for the CLIENT BUSINESS NEED
  • The dev adapts to the client
  • The client doesn't become a dev

• Code reflects business
• Tests titles are comprehensible to the client!

Fils unique mais c'est important quand même

COM with colleagues (1/2)

• Including
  • Past ones (they already left)
  • Futur ones
    • Some you'll never meet (but who knows)

COM with colleagues (2/2)

• Code comments (very debatable !)
• Agree on COMMON GROUNDS
  • Naming Convention => NC
    • Languages have constrainsts
    • You'll end up with the same NC as everybody !
    • "Convention over configuration"
• Workflow common ground too !

Task Management

• Increase motivation
• Reduce chaos
  • but sometime chaos is good !
• Dependency of work between people

Task Management

Methodology

• Depends on team's size and structure
• Tickets / Waterfall (en V) / TDD / SCRUM

Tools

• Depends on team's size, structure and methodology
  • Trello(/WeKan) / GitLab / GitHub
  • Pivotal Tracker
  • Jira
  • Else ?

GIT

Branches branches branches ...

Do NOT use git flow for now !!

• Never lose a line of code
• Never erase your colleague's work
• GO BACK IN TIME!
  • Get rid of commented out code!
