Organizing Development

[David Demland]

If you are talking about the format and break down of functions in code. I
know of no great tool to help manager that. The only successful way I have
been able to do this is by using coding standards that have been defined.
This is a well covered subject in "Code Complete". The other option is a UML
type tool. The problem with these are they are language depended.
