CodeScene's simulation module lets you explore the effects of planned off-boarding while the developers are still aboard. Act on time and mitigate risk.
CodeScene’s traditional usage as a project management tool is to detect areas of your codebase withexcess costs.
However, CodeScene has evolved to include powerful simulation features that help you plan on- and off-boardings by detecting organizational risks. In this article we explore how CodeScene combines social measures with technical metrics to detect future risks.
Project Planning with On- and Off-Boarding Simulations
Let’s say that a developer or contractor leaves your organization or is transferred to a different project. What’s the impact on your application? Are there any high risk areas where you might lose mastery, which in turn might lead to technical issues like defects and financial risks like delays and missed deadlines.
For this purpose, CodeScene comes with a simulation module that lets you explore the effects of a planned off-boarding while the developers are still aboard. This gives you the opportunity to identify off-boarding risks and areas of the code in need of a new main developer.
CodeScene project planning simulation lists all developers that actively contribute to the codebase. To simulate the impact of an off-boarding, select one or more developers from that list to the right in the next figure:
