With globalisation, the advance of technology, concerns for sustainability and public health issues associated with the urbanisation of society, remote working has become a more practical and popular model for working.

Code review is easily skipped and yet it is possibly the fastest road to quality, productivity and the assurance that you deliver business value as quickly and cheaply as possible!

Software quality is not just about your programmer’s code errors. It is made up of many factors, from usability design to network redundancy.

How can software organisations expand quickly whilst keeping lean, maintaining their knowledge and controlling quality and productivity?

Programmers can be inclined to complete functionality and then let Testers review their work for bugs. This is time consuming for everybody and can have a negative impact on productivity.

Many organisations are struggling with a growing number of fully autonomous digital products, often each with their own Delivery centres, toolchains and ways of working, resulting in inefficiencies and products that do not work together.

There are many things that need to be done well to ensure project success, but these are some that have particularly impressed me as critical and easily forgotten.

You know you need to refactor when your programmers struggle to fix bugs and deliver new functionality in what seems like a reasonable time.

So, you want to deliver as much business value, as quickly and cheaply as possible. But how do you do this?

With constantly evolving technologies and customer requirements rapidly changing in response to a rapidly evolving digital landscape, business solutions cannot stand still. Software development has become an ongoing investment.

In light of the Global Digital Business Transformation is your company expanding its digital services? Are you managing multiple delivery teams across multiple geographic locations?

Without feedback loops built into your software development processes, you are in danger of not delivering business value as quickly and cheaply as possible.

A software development toolchain provides efficiency through automation of repetitive manual tasks, saving people's time and reducing human error.
