ABSTRACT What’s the best way to start a new software project? This is about more than only software project management or even software development. Starting a new project is exciting and scary at the same time. So if you are a software project manager, team leader, or software developer starting something new, here is some advice for you. Software development is difficult to get right; so how do we start in a way that improves our chances of success? We need to organise ourselves and our work effectively, pick the right tools for the job, create code that is easy to work on and does what our users and customers need it to. We need to adopt a software engineering approach and an agile philosophy that allows us to do good work efficiently. Ultimately we need to figure out early if our ideas are any good and if they are useful and meaningful to the users of our system. In this episode Dave Farley explores some of the best ways to start a software project to give you a better chance of success from the start and to steer us away from creating tomorrow’s legacy systems today.
