How do you maximize team productivity? Decades of research have found at least a ten-fold—“10x”—difference in productivity and quality between the best teams and the worst. This course describes the Eight Key Principles that effective software development teams follow to achieve 10x software development:

  • Avoid minus-x software development
  • Set direction
  • Attack uncertainty
  • Tailor the solution to the problem
  • Seek ground truth
  • Make decisions with data
  • Minimize unintentional rework
  • Grow capability

The course also includes multiple example tactics aligned to each principle that your team can use to improve its practices.
