In the process of software development, personnel selection, organization and distribution of the relationship between software PRODUCT quality, software development efficiency, software development progress and software development process management of the major issues, the project leader must give high priority.
A good software project organization is one of the necessary conditions to ensure the smooth development of software. The principles to be aware of when building a software development organization are:
1. Early implementation of responsibilities, in particular the responsibility of the head of software projects.
2. Reduce the interface to prevent pushing the ball.
3. A balance of responsibility should not be greater for software managers than for his rights.
Patterns of Organizational structure:
divided by topic. A team of software personnel in accordance with the project (subject), the team members are always involved in the tasks of the project undertaken, that is, from definition to maintenance of the whole process.
Advantages: Sharing experiences and lessons learned from participating projects
Cons: People involved in the process is too broad
by functional Division. Groups of professionals are divided according to the various stages of the software lifecycle. such as demand Planning Group, analysis Group, Design Group, coding group, test group and so on.
Advantages: Easy to be familiar with the work of this group, improve the working efficiency
Disadvantage: Each group may have a more ordinary push ball and daily coordination of communication
Matrix mode. The combination of the above two models is a higher level of abstraction and practice summary, a more complex model. Developers belong to a major group of a professional and participate in software products or projects, module requirements or design, coding and other processes.
