New Report Asks: Are Software Developers Artists or Engineers?

CLOVIS, Calif. - Feb. 27, 2014 - PRLog -- Researcher and author Jonathan Cook takes advantage of his decades of enterprise software engineering experience to challenge management to rethink their software development teams.

In the new Chase Global executive report 'World Class Software: A New Paradigm for World Class Results' Cook takes a close look at the prevailing management practices in software development with an emphasis on the software developer as artist and their integration into the popular industry standard development methods.

'World Class Software: A New Paradigm for World Class Results' is written for busy executives who want their information distilled into concise, direct and meaningful reports rather than long cumbersome books.

'World Class Software: A New Paradigm for World Class Results' points out development method weaknesses rarely discussed in the industry but then goes much further by offering a comprehensive 30 day action plan to realign your teams into the creative AND productive teams they can and should be.

Published by Chase Global Technology, Research and Development, this report is just one of a number of concise executive reports available as e-books. Other recent reports include 'Post Agile Depression' and 'The Virtual Office and the Remote Worker'. These and other Chase Global reports are distributed through Amazon.com or as online reports available at http://www.chaseglobaltrend.com.

Jonathan Cook draws on his decades of enterprise software engineering experience in finance and medicine when researching and authoring Chase Global executive reports. His experience has shown him that prevailing wisdoms and best practices may not result in world class outcomes. As an alternative Cook offers real world advice in his reports.
