1. Break down your project into smaller work
Every software application starts with an idea. When planning a roadtrip, you decide where you’ll be staying each night. Similarly, when designing an application, you plan how you’ll break down your project into smaller work.
Let’s say your IT product manager wants to implement a new feature button that allows people to save their progress with a single click versus manually navigating through menus to save their work. If they provide their team with vague guidance or none at all, they run the risk of their team delivering an incorrect feature. Such a situation inevitably leads to increased delays and costs.
Instead, your IT product manager can collect and define the america phone number list new requirements as work items in your project tracking software and assign them to programmers. With Salesforce’s DevOps Center, for example, IT teams can break down a complex software project into work items. A work item is the smallest logical unit of work, such as a user story, task, or bug.
2. Simultaneously build together in your tools of choice
You might’ve heard the old saying, “Don’t judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree.” It’s something I like to keep in mind when guiding IT teams through the software developer lifecycle. Your team members have different strengths and abilities. The right platform will let them work within their individual strengths, in ways that make sense to them.
