Thinking and summary of technical personnel | R & D Efficiency

By optimizing the R & D process , Clear data quantification , Prove the value of R & D to the business .

Preface

Before talking about efficiency , I want to talk about being a technician or a technology TL, What is the core value of R & D ？

I read an article before , It's interesting , Share your ideas ：

T Outsourcing company ： The core competitiveness is not technology , It's a quick response 、 Provisioning consolidation 、 Ability in project cost control .

Enterprise informatization company ： The core value of R & D has three levels ：

• The first level is to use technology to better support business
• The second level is to use technology to promote business , Help customers with their own business experience
• The third level is to use experience accumulation to influence the industry

Product companies that solve specific scenarios and problems ： The core value lies in technology , Focus on technical depth .

What are our core values ？

Efficiently support the business ： One is support , One is efficiency ：

• brace ： Our requirements are phased and business objectives 、 Alignment of landing products
• Efficient ： Thinking about R & D efficiency , Explain our value with data

Influence the industry with technology ： This requires continuous accumulation and thinking .

Build technical barriers and technical infrastructure , Ensure system stability 、 Healthy and sustainable business development .

A lot of times , We have been thinking about how to efficiently support the business . There are many articles shared on Alibaba technology sharing platform or online , Every TL We also have our own methodology for the situation of our team . Today, I combine the situation I face , Share your thoughts .

Personal thinking

Think separately from several dimensions ：

R & D process efficiency ： Split phase , Find the key problem , Put forward a plan

1、 Demand stage

problem ： The need is repeated , The demand is not clear , Demand dispute

Solution ：

（1） Ensure the validity of requirements , Clarify the scope of business value and needs , And ensure the consistency of requirements understanding ;

（2） Content of requirements , First, communicate and focus in a small range ; Wait for the needs to be discussed clearly , Then pull relevant students to participate ;

（3） When the demand is controversial , To avoid repetition , Pull the relevant students together to focus ;

（4） Daily needs , Schedule regularly , Sunyatong .

2、 R & D stage

The production efficiency in research and development is explained separately .

3、 Joint commissioning and testing stage

problem ： The efficiency of joint commissioning is low , Environment unavailable , The quality of the test code is low

Solution ：

（1） Fore and aft end separation , Each has Mock The ability of ;

（2） Daily environmental management , Degraded system service dependency , Ensure that the test environment issues ;

（3） Benchmark test cases , Smoke testing , Automated script testing , Ensure the quality of the test .

4、 Release stage

problem ： High release frequency , Locating problems takes time , Deployment time

Solution ：

（1） Merge the publishing systems at the same time ;

（2） Agree with the business on the release frequency , Control the release cycle ;

（3） System depends on governance , Reduce deployment time , And pack in advance ;

（4） It takes time to troubleshoot problems , Provide corresponding troubleshooting tools .

Production efficiency of R & D

For R & D production process , We will improve R & D efficiency from the following aspects ：

1、 Full link technical specifications

Every process , Unify standards by standardizing documents , And through publicity and examination , Let everyone know the content . Through typical cases , Strengthen the value of normative content .

2、 The full link service can be configured

u Page configurable ： form , List of pp. , Details page , Typical cases can be configured on the document page and other middle and background pages ： Suitable page construction

u Logic can be matched ： Business parameters can be configured , Business rules can be configured with typical cases ： Category characteristics

u The model can be matched ： Define the data table or business model in the form of metadata + Typical cases of two ways to expand fields ： Category properties ,NBF Modeling platform

u service & Process planning ： A typical case of secondary combination based on atomic service capability ：AECP Service choreography for ,NBF Service arrangement of

Atomic tool capabilities based on appeals , Combined with product factory and solution capability , Link horizontal and vertical business configuration capabilities , Form a layered configurable view of full link services .

3、 Unified lateral support tool

A support tool that connects the commonalities within the team , Build a . such as excel Batch import and export 、 Approval process 、 Notification tools, etc .

4、 Nonfunctional code

Use scaffolding ： One click generation application engineering , Including dependent jar Bag, etc ;

Code specification template ： Error code template , Log template , Engineering structure, etc ;

Middleware isolation layer ： Including use cases ;

General tools ： External open source tool classes , General class of business abstraction , Self developed abstract general tool class ;

Business standard interception ： The user login , Service exception handling ,dao Execution time of ;

stability ： Current limiting , Apply self-test ;

Abstract the common code of all applications , Precipitate into jar, In the project, by default .

5、 Deployment delivery

Deployment manual guidance , Unified troubleshooting tools ;

6、 Interface documentation

web Layers follow swagger standard 、 Competence center / The tool follows the interface specification documents and client Use case description of .

7、 Clear boundaries of system collaboration

We often have system calls in the process of landing 、 Problems such as system dependency , It is suggested to define these key issues at the initial stage of startup , Then look for TL or pm Coordinate to solve .

R & D collaboration effectiveness

Through process specifications and templates , Agree on your cooperation mode .

1、 Daily Q & a collaboration process

2、 Project process management

Through the following campaign template , Synchronize project progress ：

3、 Daily demand scheduling

Agree on the demand scheduling cycle , Fixed time communication needs , Subsequently, statistical data can be analyzed through collaborative management tools .

R & D personnel effectiveness

Through continuous learning or leveraging other teams , Improve the technical level ; By precipitating team norms 、 file 、 Cases and other schemes , Let's complement our knowledge ; Summarize through the second round , Precipitate typical cases for internal sharing , Avoid stepping on the pit repeatedly . In addition to learning , It also needs to be strengthened through examinations .

Performance indicators

Develop indicator data for the process , Monthly drying and comparison , Analyze the data , Positioning effectiveness . Key indicators can be referred to ：

• Requirements lead time , Number of requirements delivered ,
• Number of projects
• Code committed Bug Count
• Online problems and faults

summary

By optimizing the R & D process , Clear data quantification , Prove the value of R & D to the business .
