How development is run
How the work is arranged when several people build something together. Design, testing and estimates.
None of this is needed while you build alone, and all of it is needed the moment other people join.
The development process (waterfall and agile), the vocabulary of scrum, ways of thinking about design, the kinds of testing (unit, integration, system) and the ways of doing it (white box, black box), methods of estimation, and configuration management. This is the chapter with the most words that turn up in job adverts.
