Myths of Software Development (Part 3/3)

Myths of Software Development (Part 3/3)

(Part 3/3) When it comes to Software Development(much like everything else), there are myths. And while technologies and stacks have changed frequently, I've hardly seen many of these myths go away (not for good, at least). In this 3-part series (yes, it took me that many!), I try to break those myths. #projectmanagement Manage your projects on https://snowpal.com. Keep it simple.

It’s important that you develop across stacks (wide and deep)

It’s important that you develop across stacks (wide and deep)

By wide, I mean Polyglot development. By deep, I mean Full stack development. In today's day and age, it is all the more important that you don't end up being a single-language developer. It's a bit too risky. #projectmanagement Manage your projects on https://snowpal.com. Keep it simple.

Are you sure the requirements are complete, and you understand them?

If your requirements aren't complete, there is a problem. Sounds obvious? It sure is but, unfortunately, this is one of those recurring issues in Software Development that happens all too often and before you know it, your team is developing software to a specification that is not even close to being complete. #projectmanagement Manage your projects on https://snowpal.com.
