Stressing out about meeting deadlines for delivering software? A good development process can make a world of difference to the quality of your work and work environment. I’d like to share my experiences and tell you about the process that I use to manage my development teams at Message Systems.
This is not a manager-only talk; I’m an Engineer and my process is engineering focused. We’ll talk in practical terms about all aspects of the software development lifecycle, from roadmap management, through development, testing, bug fixing and release.
Wez Furlong is the Director of Engineering at Message Systems. In the PHP world, Furlong is a PHP Core developer, the so-called “King of PECL,” the PHP Extension Community Library, and helps to maintain the php.net server infrastructure. Furlong has authored and maintains a number of PHP extensions, and designed and implemented the PHP Streams layer. Furlong currently resides in Columbia, Maryland with his wife, son, and dog.

This talk seemed too general. I’d have liked some more specific scenarios discussed.
