Software Engineering Management Task

May 18th, 2007 at 12:39 · Filed Under At Work, Blogging, Computing, Days in My Life, Software Development 

I had a good long session of Skype with my team leader, Jesse, this morning. We had a good chat about some software development process and how I can help to grow the team. Growth not in size but technical competency, skills, confidence and sense of belonging as a team.

I am glad that I can use my SE experience to enhance the team. Although I have a head on both technical and management shoulder, I prefer development to management. But somehow, I quite like management once in a full moon. What an ironic interest in contrast!

Now, I am off to define a SVN commit guidelines for our team. The document is one page in length at this moment and I hope to finish at least some outlines by end of the day. This will be the first piece of such work (due to limited time for me to sit down and write) and I wish I can share it on my blog to benefit not only our development team but also some people. I will ask permission from my employer to post the guidelines. So keep your fingers crossed.

    Adrian: Most of the time, the company you work for will not like you to post your work product. THe company wants to make money not benefit the general public and not derive any money from it so don’t get upset if they say no. If this is am American company, it is even more so that they will not allow it – not only would they prefer to make money out of the development but also to acquire the intellectual property which in turn will be used to prevent others from using it without payment of some fee. That is life for you – reality in the business world – nothing is free in this world – you work for someone, it belongs to them. That is why intellectual property is a hot commodity.

    Hey Kate,

    Good to have an old friend stopping by. How’s life? There were some upheaval and down fall. It was nice to have you guys the other time. I wonder when we can meet again?
