I am blessed in my team in that we have some folks with a lot of tenure. We have several people that have been working in this department for more than 15 years – much of that in one role. And as we’re still working with an ancient legacy system, it makes for fantastic systems knowledge.<\/p>\n
But then there is the dark side.<\/p>\n
This accumulated history means that it is very\u00c2\u00a0difficult\u00c2\u00a0to hire new folks into the team. And the lack of new blood (and new ideas) means that we now have a fairly stagnant pond. Not that we’re incapable – but that we have missed out on many of the development philosophies that have become standard in standard development shops.<\/p>\n
And we need to make some decisions, as our ERP needs to be replaced. And either I buy it or I build it.<\/p>\n
My question is is it possible to re-energise the team. To turn them into a dynamic, interested, high performance group of modern developers? And can we attract enough experienced, energetic developers to help us to re-tool while staying within budget?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
