  • #5: Thinking about software development investment

     In this episode I want to talk about how to think about investing in software development.

    I see too many people thinking that software development is an activity with one outcome – success.

    And with that I see funding being made to that software development with the expectation that it will deliver specific anticipated benefits.

    I want to take you through why I think that mindset is incorrect and how you should be thinking when investing in software development.

  • #2 - It's not about utilization

    In the last podcast I told you that focusing on 100% utilization is the wrong thing for return on investment.

    But how can that be?
    Are we not taught that utilization means productivity?
    Are we not encourage to stretch our staff?
    To get the most out of the staff salary?
    Are we not even told its a good thing to sweat the asset?

    You’ve tried to resolve it yourself; you’ve set targets, you’ve encouraged, you’ve cajoled, you’ve been driven half insane with techno-babble – but your tried and tested management techniques aren’t working – if anything they are producing negative effects.

    So why is it so difficult?
