[thelist] setting team standards and guidelines

[Jeremy Weiss]

If everything goes as expected, in the near future I will be taking
over as lead for a dev team that has grown organiclly for a number of
years. I've been told my first order of business will be to institute
procedures and standardize things. Now, I know how companies I've
worked for have done things but I'm sure there are other/better ways
to do things as well. So, I'm looking for educational resources
(websites, books, lectures, articles, etc.)  that discuss the various
ways of standardizing these things. Anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks,
Jeremy
