When is classroom training simply not enough?
Open enrolment courses are the best way to start
the process of up-skilling your development team, but attendees rarely come away with a clear vision of how to use
a new technology when they encounter the real world.
Trainees come away from a course with enough knowledge to begin
the experiential learning process, and what better way is there than starting work
on a new project?
But serious mistakes are often made through lack of experience,
and when those mistakes happen at the start of the project, whole teams will have to live with those mistakes for years to come - or else the project will have to be re-started.
Either way, it's a costly business, especially when you factor the life-time cost
of an application.
Developers should be able to use their newly-acquired
knowledge safely;
become productive immediately; and
gain experience
of the
new technology.
There is a simple way to achieve this, and in so doing, create
a win for the project sponsor, a win for the project manager and a win for the developers
in the team. This, in part, is what The Six Step Process ensures for your projects.
