In this Tech in 2, hear from Client Executive Hannah Stork as she shares three tips to solve some common problems in software development.
The biggest challenges we see in software development are capacity-based and speed-to-market challenges. Every company is a technology company now and with that they have the need to develop new digital products that are either internally facing and drive operational efficiency and reduce cost or externally facing and improve customer experience and generate revenue.
Where Are the Gaps?
The first step to really solving speed-to-market and capacity-based problems is understanding where are there gaps in the development process and how can we increase speed and velocity through the entire software development lifecycle.
Flex in Resources
Often times, technical expertise is needed in various areas and sometimes that’s not held within the software development teams at the company. Flexing in the proper resources, whether they be UI/UX, DevOps, or cloud or data engineers really helps close that gap in the technical expertise at that moment.
New Product Development
New product development is one of the most exciting challenges clients have and when they’re looking at this, they have to define that product. What are they trying to get and where does this outcome lead to? Helping understand the product vision, outcomes, business drivers and really the full utilization of that product is critical.
There are all kinds of challenges in software development and new product development and we find increasing speed-to-market, flexing in the right technical expertise at the right time and really having a clear vision for your product is going to help you get you over the finish line and drive the business outcomes you hope to achieve.
