In the spirit of this question I wanted to have a sense of what is the proportion of time split between fixing bugs and implementing new features. If possible try to give an estimate for the product as a whole as opposed to individual developer stats and try to make an average over the course of a typical year. Do provide a general descriptive of the product/project to allow comparison. Specifically :
- Maturity of project
- Is it still actively developed or strictly in maintenance ?
- Size estimate of the product/project
- Size of team developing it (all inclusive)
- What is your team score on the Joel test.
Ex :
- approx 80% time spent bug fixes 20% new stuff
- Mature software (20 years old)
- Actively developed
- 1.5M Line of Text, approx 700k - 900k LOC
- 12-15 actively coding in it.
- we got 5/12 for sure, some would say 7/12.
