Event: Developer Productivity Engineering: What's in it for me?

Manchester Java Community hosted another great session in Thoughtworks. The speaker is Trisha Gee, co-author of the renowned book Head First Java. 

The speaker pointed out that the productivity of developers did not mainly come from individual developer themselves but from the organisation which offers productive environments or not. The factor includes work space size, quietness, privateness, any diversion or needless interruption.

On technology side, productivity can be improved by consistency and reliability of builds. Very fast feedback can improve productivity and quality, thus increase revenue, reduce cost and improve brand.
