Question

1. A software development team consists of 5 senior developers of similar skill sets and backgrounds. They have gone through problem statement preparation, user stories, and other project planning details. They are all excited and dive into designs and start coding right away. They did not plan or prepare the software version control environment for their project. What kind of problems will they encountered in their software development as a team? (need to be specific in the description) What should they do to get back on track?   
2. You just joined a software development team as a senior developer (Not a manager). You will be working with a team of 5 software developers who cannot seem to be able to complete and integrate their codes in a consistent manner. They tend to spend a ton of time in pointing finger blaming each other, assimilating their codes in the last minutes, and consistently breaking their supposedly final builds. BTW, they do use GitHub for the code repository. What can you do to fix the problem?   How would you know your approach is working? (hint: no need to explain too much in detail, identify the key activities that are missing.

Answer 1

i)When developing a project the first and foremost thing is to have a proper planning and understanding on what they are going to do,They will face problems in team work,implementing a particular functionalities,they will get confused about what to do and when to do and why to do.Because of these they will deliver a bad project.So the first thing they have to do after listening user stories and problem statement is all the team members have to sit together and have to discuss the functionalities and divide the work .A proper documentation about project is must.  

ii)As they are working in a time they should be taught about how to work in a time and how to manage time.They should be made aware of professional ethics and they should be taught how to use the GitHub so that they can manage their codes without complexity.
