Essence for Software Engineering

The software industry, with more than 25 million workers, should behave more like an engineering discipline than like a craft!

The hand-crafting of routine tasks is wasteful. Given that “most tasks are routine and not innovative” (Mary Shaw, CMU), routine tasks should be automated, ‘engineered’, resulting in better quality with faster outcomes. We need to liberate teams from ‘no brain work’ giving them the freedom to be more creative when needed.
 

Do you also agree it is foolish that:

  • The software industry is like the fashion industry with new method designs every now and then?
  • An industry, more than 50 years old and so huge is relying on gurus – software methodology salesmen?
  • Your people working on one product, working with one method, can’t easily move to a different product team working with another method?

Ok, so you probably also agree that:

  • An efficient software development method and
  • Highly competent people

…are critical success factors for your company.
