The problem:
A developer or a contractor leaving an organization or being transferred to a different project also involves active knowledge loss. This leads to a loss of mastery in some areas, as well as considerable technical issues and financial risks.
The solution:
CodeScene comes with a project planning simulation model that helps explore the off-boarding risks while the developers are still aboard. This helps identify knowledge loss risk and helps with new developer onboarding.
Benefits of this feature:
- Explore the effects of planned off-boarding
Explore the impact of planned off-boarding while developers are still aboard. Use this opportunity to identify risks, knowledge loss, and areas of code in need of a new main developer.
- Auto-Detect high-risk off-boarding
Auto-detect high-risk areas in an off-boarding simulation. Learn if there are any high-risk areas where you might lose mastery, which might lead to technical issues, delivery delays, or missed deadlines.
- Use the Off-Boarding Simulator to Plan Time for Learning
In case the off-boarding simulation points to significant knowledge loss of entire components or sub-systems, the information can be used to support re-planning or re-prioritizing features, as well as scheduling additional time for learning.
- Detect off-boarding risks by combining technical and social information
- Identify the loss of active knowledge
- Support re-planning and re-prioritizing features
- Plan accordingly. Find experts to replace the knowledge loss or schedule additional time for learning
Use CodeScene to Guide Developer On- and Off-Boarding
Use CodeScene’s project planning feature to identify high-risk code that might get abandoned as a result of a developer leaving. This information can facilitate the onboarding process for a new developer in that part of the code.
- Simulate the developer off-boarding effect
- Identify areas of code at high risk of being abandoned
- Mitigate off-boarding risks based on real data from your codebase
- Use these insights to facilitate the onboarding of a new developer
