Full-function team

The concept of devops has been popular for some time, and the industry is looking forward to it. In fact, software companies have been on the old path for many years, but now they can no longer keep up with the development of the times. The original software development cycle is long, and the supporting capacity of the product may not be able to meet the rapidly changing business demands, so everyone is looking for a solution that can quickly respond to external changes.

In the world of software, the backbone is still in people, at least in the period when artificial intelligence is still mentally retarded, people are the primary productive forces. In fact, seeking to respond quickly to changes in the outside world will eventually fall on a responsive team.

Looking at the strong living companies that have sprung up over the years, a key factor that can not be ignored is that there is a strong team behind it. The concept of full-featured team has been put forward in recent years, but it has been put into practice for a long time. A more typical business, such as starting a business, where several initial partners get together, contribute money, make efforts, and roll up their arms. The understanding of the full-function team is probably derived from some existing successful cases like this, and it is packaged with a different name, but it is nothing new. What is new is how to turn a non-universal single case into a successful experience that everyone can learn and can learn, that is, practice.

Before talking about practice, let's talk about the relatively smooth start-up companies such as Tencent, of course, which unfortunate companies, Tencent can have today, the initial team is relatively comprehensive and the quality of all aspects is not low, there are product managers, technical people, members who are good at pulling business in the market, and so on. For startups, their role configuration is relatively complete and balanced. The other one, I think, is that a team is operating as a person, with a center but all brains, with the same goal, collective planning, decision-making and implementation when there are problems, bold attempts without fear of making mistakes, avoiding major mistakes through team decision-making, collective reflection and improvement of small problems, and no repetition.

Full-function team from the current practical experience of our factory, the product manager, SE, development and testing roles are concentrated into a team, the product manager focuses on grasping the product direction, the SE focuses on the program gatekeeper, and the development and testing focuses on the release of the product. The full-function team is divided into roles and not roles, and everyone has their own strengths and strengths, regardless of roles, filling positions at any time according to needs. Full-function team is the same responsibility body is a person, with the same goal is to do a good job of the product, the product is rewarded, the product can not do a good job of the whole team performance decline, and so on. The full-function team is not only responsible for the delivery of the product, but also responsible for the operation of the product, whether the product is good or not should be bought by the customer, no one cares about the product, that is, the customer manager is the market analyst and drives the product adjustment direction. there are many product complaints, and everyone is the operation and maintenance staff to solve problems for customers and drive R & D and improvement. Another element of a full-function team is that there are few people and few soldiers. As mentioned earlier, a team is a person. If a team has too many people, it is still very difficult to be a person. The agility of a full-function team is reflected in one person. It is the fastest and most efficient for a person to do things without considering whether the decision is correct or not. 2-3 people in a full-function team get together to make a decision and give a solution. Save the time wasted on waterfall delivery and communication of requirements, design, development, etc., and do something meaningful.

In short, a good product needs a good team, a good team should always have a successful product. A full-function team is probably an operational strategy for a team to develop into a good team.
