2. Four Productivity Principles
 The following principles significantly increase
development productivity:
 Having a clear, actionable plan of attack = Productivity
 Increasing code knowledge = Productivity
 Reducing rework = Productivity
 Reducing debugging = Productivity

3. Have a Clear, Actionable Plan of Attack
 Increase productivity by ensuring developers
know what to do, when to do it, and how to do it
 Define tasks properly
 Have a system for distributing tasks
 Assign tasks properly

4. Increase Code Knowledge
 Increase code knowledge so developers can
handle more tasks and complete them faster
 Implement peer code review
 Implement regression testing

5. Minimize Rework
 Increase productivity by not having to
implement the same thing twice
 Increase code knowledge
 Minimize debugging
 Prevent customer-architect misunderstandings with
short, frequent iterations and prototypes
 Prevent architect-developer misunderstandings by
having developers examine each requirement from
multiple perspectives and write a test case for it before
implementing it

6. Minimize Debugging
 Increase productivity by not having to find and
fix bugs
 Establish an automated defect prevention infrastructure
 Increase each developer’s code knowledge

7. Parasoft Concerto - Differentiator
Real-time feedback: Are we doing what is expected, correctly?
Projects have 360 degree
visibility. From planning
through test and completion,
a task is measured on
“when” and “how” it is
implemented.
Policies are centrally
managed and applied
throughout the SDLC.
Management’s expectations
are documented and
compliance is measured.

8. Parasoft Concerto - Infrastructure
Parasoft Concerto drives SDLC tasks to a predictable outcome
according to a central policy. Concerto seamlessly integrates into
your development environment and delivers end-to-end process
visibility and control.
