People hate the word process. Its scary. But the only reason its scary is when it’s bad process and convoluted. Good, simple process frees you and allows you create more efficiently and effectively.
Process
- Building a simple, lightweight process is critical to getting work done fast.
- It allows you to focus on the creative parts of your work rather than the project management aspects.
- Understanding process drives alignment and clear roles & responsibilities
- If you have a good process - when you are out of the office, assigning a task to someone else is extremely simple and requires little to no education.
- If process docs are good, someone can pick up your docs and understand the workflow you follow daily.
- We build asset supply chain software. To optimize a supply chain, you must have the full chain mapped out end to end and then can figure out where the issues are to fix.
- We need strong upfront alignment in our product development process because we have many stakeholders: producers, channnels, content ops teams, etc. and we need to capture all of their requirements before we build so that we don’t break something.
- You can’t optimize what you don’t measure.
- Start with BARE minimum process and be ULTRA discerning when adding a new step. Every new step complicates the process and makes it less likely to be followed.
