Continuous DeploymentDesignDevelopment Team Review
But we couldn''t have identified this without having clear metrics (that high bug count) to assess our development process. As Shutterstock has grown, there are a few key elements to our continueddevelopment speed: Small, autonomous teams: The more a team can do on their own, the faster they can go.
Lessons Learned by Eric Ries Friday, February 20, 2009 Work in small batches Software should be designed, written, and deployed in small batches. Its had tremendous impact in many areas: continuousdeployment , just-in-time scalability , and even search engine marketing , to name a few. I dont think so.
Reinertsen is keenly aware of what makes product development different from other business functions, like manufacturing, that we sometimes use as a metaphor. Product development deals in designs, which are fundamentally intangible. Hence the need for partitioning our resources into a separate problem team and solution team.
I met one recently that is working on a really innovative product, and the stories I heard from their developmentteam made me want to cringe. The product manager was clearly struggling to get results from the rest of the team. These specs are handed to a designer, who builds layouts and mockups of all the salient points.
Most of the other processs changes - mandatory designreviews (prelimninary, critical, etc), - documenting all our procedures, and so on - were to support those two factors. It might be more precise to categorize them of two kinds of flaws: flaws in implementation, and flaws in design. Im keen on the two-kinds-of-bugs thing.
The technical interview is at the heart of these challenges when building a product developmentteam, and so I thought it deserved an entire post on its own. Still, a startup product developmentteam is a service organization. Case Study: Continuousdeployment makes releases n. What is customer development?
You can learn about customer development, and quite a bit more, in Steves book The Four Steps to the Epiphany. This is a self-published book, originally designed as a companion to Steves class at Berkeleys Haas school of business. Our goal in product development is to find the minimum feature set required to get early customers.
Even if, in a previous life, you were a world expert in some functional specialty, like in-depth market research or scalable systems design, the compressed timeline of a startup makes it irrelevant. These are two other Extreme Programming practices that are explicitly designed to counteract the problems inherent in this situation.
You constantly assess the situation, looking for hazards and timing your movements carefully to get across safely. It was pretty ugly, the marketing and design sucked, and I was embarrassed by it. So the product developmentteam was busy creating lots of split-tests for lots of hypotheses. Yet it had one huge advantage.
Now its time to start to think seriously about how to find a repeatable and scalable sales process, how to position and market the product, and how to build a product developmentteam that can turn an early product into a Whole Product. Case Study: Continuousdeployment makes releases n. What is customer development?
The idea of leverage is simple: for every ounce of effort your product developmentteam puts into your product, find ways to magnify that effort by getting many other people to invest along with you. Making UGC work requires good tools, open standards, and proper incentive design. Its a key lean startup concept.
