-  * [[https://sites.google.com/a/gertrudandcope.com/info/Publications/Patterns/Process/QPW|James Coplien on the Borland Quattro Pro development]] which some say was the most productive ever recorded. To quote the abstract "The project assimilated requirements, completed design and implementation of 1 million lines of code, and completed testing in 31 months. Coding was done by no more than eight people at a time, which means that individual coding productivity was higher than 1000 lines of code per staff-week. The project capitalized on its small size by centering development activities around daily meetings where architecture, design, and interface issues were socialized. Quality assurance and project management roles were central to the development sociology, in contrast to the developer-centric software production most often observed in our studies of AT&T telecommunications software. Analyses of the development process are "off the charts" relative to most other processes we have studied."
