Not sure whether your team needs a better delivery process?
Use the simple checklist below to find out.
Check all that apply:
- Developers donโt interact directly with end users (or user proxies)
- Developers donโt possess the ability to interact directly with end users
- Developers are serving a large user base
- Developers are serving a user base with varied and complex needs
- Developers are geographically distanced
- Developers face language/cultural/time zone barriers
- Developers lack business knowledge
- Developers lack systems knowledge
- Developers lack regulatory knowledge
- Developers struggle to identify gaps in the software requirements
- Developers struggle to clarify requirement details mid-development
- Developers struggle to navigate the complexity of the on-shore organisation
How did you fare?
If you checked more than a couple of these, your developers are likely to be struggling. You might be seeing this as:
- Features that miss the mark
- Bugs no one can explain
- Frequent rework
- Missed deadlines
If so, a better delivery process will make all the difference.
Remote, outsourced and offshore developers know this only too well.
