Chapter 40. Tools Group
The Tools Group practice sets up a group that's responsible for gathering intelligence about, evaluating, coordinating the use of, and disseminating new tools within an organization. A Tools Group allows for a reduced amount of trial and error and minimizes the number of development groups that will be handicapped by the use of inadequate software tools. Virtually any organization that has more than one software project running at a time can set up a Tools Group, though in some cases the "group" might consist of a single person working only part time.
