Principle 7: COLLEAGUES

Software engineers shall be fair to and supportive of their colleagues. In particular, software engineers shall, as appropriate:

7.05. Give a fair hearing to the opinions, concerns, or complaints of a colleague.

It is very important to listen to everyone’s ideas assisting the success of the project. Sometime some people see the things that majority of them not see at all. By considering those concerns we can either assist them to the project work or ignore by providing a strong rationale to omit them if they seem to be important.

7.06. Assist colleagues in being fully aware of current standard work practices including policies and procedures for protecting passwords, files and other confidential information, and security measures in general.

Another important fact is that every team member in the project is aware of the current state of the project. Ensure that everyone is following the project standards and procedures. By doing that we can reduce the negative impacts on the development process. Reduce risks, errors and mistakes.
