Best practices
Software engineering leaders offer these tips for saving time:
Ensure that programs and products are working correctly before launch
Deadlines may be looming, but don’t release a program with bugs or a product that isn’t ready for use.
Adopt sprint cycles to keep the team on track
Use surveys as an intake process for planning work, then ensure that the team sticks to a release schedule for engineering tasks.
Send monthly pulse surveys
Check in with your team on a weekly basis to see whether they have all the support they need to do their jobs successfully.
Have retrospectives after every large initiative
Find out what worked, what didn’t and opportunities for the future.
