Product Design Experience (II)-closed development

It has been closed for several weeks and has been with the outsourced Microsoft Project Team.

It is lucky that more than half of the time it takes to come to the company out of the closed project status, because closed projects are usually important and mysterious (well, or because there is no place to sit in the office area,=, = Bbb).

People's work emphasizes the impact of the office environment on people, but it is for large companies on the right track. We can see from the frequent closed procedures that we often find that, it is indeed a small entrepreneurial company.

If you have any questions, you will be notified to everyone with a roar; in addition, closures are usually intended to "Catch Up", so there will be a lot of arguments, a small space can make the debate more likely, and participants will invest more, so there is no need to worry about the heated debate will disturb outsiders, because there are no outsiders in the house, the closed room will also lead to a loss of time concept.

Think of a special case. It usually takes a long time for Alibaba's secret base hushu garden to be closed, but the team's combat capability can be maintained, which is the role of team encouragement.

 

From the above features, we can see that closed business is more suitable for agile development of entrepreneurial teams, and the pursuit of speed will inevitably sacrifice processes, specifications, documents, and other things, this closure is exactly the same as that of the Super regular army Microsoft,MicrosoftThe project is started ,...... Requirements Analysis, outline design, and detailed design. Each blank template of each document has dozens of pages.
