><br><br><br><br>Title: Managing Software Developers <br><br>by Alex Martelli <br><br><br><br>Managing software development projects can benefit from some<br><br>approaches that are rather different from most traditional management<br><br>techniques. Software developers operate with their own particular<br><br>mindset, culture, and reward system. To motivate and inspire a top<br><br>programming team, one type of ideal manager is a technical peer who<br><br>can jump into the code and work hands-on, together with the<br><br>developers, to solve thorny problems. Such technical involvement can<br><br>keep a project moving forward and help the manager build credibility<br><br>and trust within the team.<br><br><br><br>In this talk, Alex Martelli discusses some common management myths,<br><br>and shares some immediately useful advice for anyone involved in<br><br>managing software development projects.<br><br><br><br><br><br>NOTE BayPIGgies meets at the Symantec Vcafe, <br><br>at !
