In business/personal coaching there is an idea of a “wheel of life”. The idea is that you evaluate different dimensions of your life and plot them on a wheel. Ideally the wheel should be balanced (and as large) as possible. If the wheel is crooked, you know what areas need to be improved to create a better wheel that turns more easily. When the wheel turns more easily, you get better results.
In a similar vein, the Software Development Wheel allows you to evaluate your overall software development experience.
The tool below can be used by individual developers, the software development team as a whole, or team leaders/managers.
To generate your own wheel fill out the form below.
Each dimension is rated from 1 (“very little or none”) to 5 (“awesome, doing everything possible”) and descriptions for the dimensions are included below.
Be sure to share this page with your fellow developers, team leaders, and management as it’s a great way to start a conversation about how to improve things.
