Teaching management skills to software develop- ment teams through the lean start-up methodology

Abstract

In order for development teams to understand the impact of software development on value delivery it is important that all team members, including software engineers, possess adequate management skills which not always have been acquired during university education. The lean start-up methodology techniques enable new ventures to test hypothesis, gather customer feed- back and create a minimum viable product. The obtained information is employed in order to create products that are valuable to the customers, and to restrain from implementing features that are not sought for by the clients. The lean start-up methodology is currently taught in nu- merous business schools and at software development events such as the Startup Weekend. This hapter explores how the lean start-up could be used to improve customer satisfaction oriented software product development skills, incorporating not only software programming but also such activities as planning, design, testing, deployment and evaluation. The techniques of the methodology and it’s teaching process are analyzed for their influence on decision making. As a result, in order to enhance value-added, innovation-based services, a novel method for teaching management skills to software development teams is proposed.
