Deep dives
The Value of Engineering Processes
Process can carry negative connotations in engineering teams, leading to resistance among developers. When implemented poorly, processes can hinder productivity and slow down project velocity, making it essential to evaluate their effectiveness regularly. Teams often face the issue of too many processes that become burdensome rather than helpful, focusing more on adherence than on delivering value and impact. On the contrary, a lack of sufficient process may leave teams struggling with coordination and dependency management, which can lead to frustrations and inefficiencies during project execution.
