James O. Coplien: Borland Software Craftsmanship: A New Look at Process, Quality and Productivity
James O. Coplien: “The [Borland Quattro Pro® for Windows] 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.” (Via Eric Starck.)
