Development process audit
It is a thorough evaluation of your development process, paying special attention to communication, planning, task estimation – and identifying an area for improvement.
Why is it important?
Verify management methodologies
The main objective of the development process audit is to verify management methods followed by your IT team. It pertains to a variety of daily activities, such as work planning, team engagement in task estimation, and the way of dealing with common problems.
