TEAM LEADER MISSION STATEMENT
A Team Leader who pays attention to saving His Client Money by applying the
KISS (keep-it-simple-stupid method) to Large Numbers of Programmers working on a Project(s). Not allowing costs to get out of hand, by dumbing down costly and complicated
tools, which oftentimes are oversold by Vendors, and avoiding these tools if
able to achieve the Project's goals without a loss of Quality or Time.
With the Economy and dollars being squeezed, a Special Emphasis on
Cost-Savings Overall by applying and simplifying coding standards across the
board to all Programming Members in the Team by enforcing SIMPLE VB.NET
coding, and SQL rules amoung many programmers in remote locations, and
verifying the Projects code and goals.

Managers to ensure Project(s) on Target and Schedule.
Keeping Specifications up-to-date. Documenting and streamlining Meetings by capturing key points held in those meetings, and applying them to the Project, and to revised specifications.

Disciplines.in Live Meetings.
Special Goal of Reducing Costs on large Projects without Borders (Programmers
Geographically spread over the Globe), by using code non obfucating methods,
code exposure methods, non-encapsulation methods for both VB.Net and SQL
using ADODB, so all code in the Project is EXPOSED, for TOTAL REUSE using cut
and paste among all coding members in a Project(s).
Heavy focus on easy-to-read, easy-to-use easy-to-DEBUG (inline debugging),
with all variables shown and exposed for simplified debugging.
Enforcement of strict "ClassLESS" programming standards, and cutting down on
Event Driven programming wherever possible, so all source code is easier to
follow and more logical, and increasing code reuse by making all code
visible.
Insisting that Subroutines and Functions BE SIMPLE-and never allow more then
one method per function/sub.
