Daily builds. Testers. Written specs. Joel Spolsky's famous (infamous?) list of best practices for software teams (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html) is great advice - and often hard to implement in the real world. We all need some help to get those daily builds humming, convincing the boss to hire testers, and keeping the schedule in line with reality. If you're trying to move your team from a 1 or 2 to a perfect 12 on the Joel Test -- or even a 5 or 6! -- this BoF session is for you. If your team is a 12, this BoF session is for you too -- the rest of us need to know what you know!
