The most important factor in demand: risk, cost, substitute

Article Description: 3 big points to be concerned about when asking for a demand.

Demand is what operators often do, the recent demand is very tangled, but the environment is forced, and can not say, only here to talk about their views on demand.

I think the most important factor when asking for a demand is 3 points: risk, cost, substitute

Risk

Risk is the primary consideration, and if you don't have one, then you don't have to waste any more time.

There are 2 major sources of risk:

The first is the risk of the demand operation process, for example, some needs to move the more sensitive database, some requirements in the execution process may cause downtime ...

The other is the impact of demand on the game ecology, such as the attributes of new requirements too subversive of the game itself, or new requirements soon after the new version, and the content of the new version with the requirements of the content caused conflict.

Cut down the demand or adjust the demand when you find the risk.

Cost

The cost of demand is divided into 2 major parts: Demand communication cost, demand development cost

Communication cost is the process of communicating with technology (planning), what to do, what not to do, and which needs to be adjusted after operation demands.

Conventional requirements, development costs are 2: Labor costs (who do), time cost (how long). The complexity of the operation is not within the consideration of cost, which can be attributed to the time cost.

If the cost of development is high, it is valuable to spend some time on communication. If development costs are low and risk-free, it takes a lot of time to make sure that communication is a waste of time.

Alternative products

All the needs of the starting point is the purpose, in order to achieve the goal, we think of a means, this means in the implementation of the need for some props or logic to support, there is demand.

There are many means to achieve a goal, and the way to achieve one is sometimes flexible. When there is a risk, when the cost is high, we do not have to hang in a tree, think of other ways, always get a happy ending, if in a demand of death knock, development by you bored, the future of the days will be bad.

Therefore, when the communication process encountered difficulties, take a step back, find some alternatives, certainly cope wide sky.
