Abstract

Success must be engineered, and failure must require falling outside of norms. We must engineer development practices and processes to ensure developers are successful. Leaving anything to chance will result in developers falling into the pit of failure. In this chapter, we will focus on those practices and processes that enable developers to consistently fall into the pit of success.
