#188: Bad for ROI - More Developers Better ROI from Software Development
-
- Technology
Following on from the last two episodes that look at the dysfunctional and unexpected results that can from the seemly well intentioned call for "more planning", this week's episode takes a look at a similar paradox - the call for "more developers".
We look at why "more developers" does not generally equal "greater output" - the unexpected operational overheads that a larger team generate.
We look at some circumstances, when used with caution, increasing the headcount can be the right thing.
And we look at suggestion for improving productivity without increase numbers.
