Chris Mullins, Chief Software Architect for Coversant in Sacramento, presented this slide deck on Writing Shrinkwrapped Software to the Sacramento .NET User Group in August.
It’s filled with tips, advice and knowledge on writing shrinkwrapped software. Although it contains some .NET-specific content, the bulk of the message is language agnostic.

What a great slide deck! Whoever put that one together sure knew his stuff! Why all the focus on orginization though? All we need to do is write the code, put up the download link, and we’re done. Right?
“Don’t use Source Safe”. I love it! I’ve been saying the same thing for 10 years. Excellent presentation, even with only seeing the slides. -mattyj
My favorite: Bug and features tracking, “Don’t write your own! No! No! No! No! (NO!)”.
It’s amazing to me how many people start off on new projects that are just doomed to fail before the first line of code is done. Not using the right tools, failing to do due diligance where required, and steering clear of the areas they don’t like (Product Installation, ugrade scripts, EULA’s, etc) all doom a project to failure, even with the best engineering talent.
