Medium stage everybody affirmation won’t strange, so small fat need not do overmuch explanation. This year, I was fortunate to participate in the construction of the company’s Zhongtai project. Nearly a year has passed since the beginning of the program design, launch and promotion.
Looking back on this period of time, xiao Pang summed up the “seven deadly SINS” in the design, development and promotion of Zhongtai. Under the premise that Zhongtai is still a general direction, you may also encounter in the future.
First of all, we fully understand the significance and purpose of the construction of the Central Office, which is to streamline the system and clean up the organization so as to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Not all companies and systems need mid-stage, only systems that have been settled over a period of years or even decades are suitable, because it is time for some innovation when the tail is too big to fall off.
However, at this time, “historical reasons” often become a hindrance to our redesign. We say the middle stage is to avoid “duplicate design”, but seemingly the same function, such as some marketing tools, in 2B and 2C product design requirements for rules and details are different.
There is often a big gap between ideal and reality. Therefore, in the transitional stage of the creation of the new medium platform and the migration of the old platform, sometimes need some flexible processing, especially under the premise of limited resources, first of all, to ensure the normal operation of the business, there is no need to adhere to the so-called terms and rules.
No. 2: Account system is probably the biggest bug in the whole project. If you think that an account is just a simple login, think again, and you can get seriously hurt.
At present, many of the “mid-stage” on the market are the reconstruction and recombination of existing systems. Therefore, the design of multiple systems in the account system is very different, not only login, authorization, authority distinction, etc., but also the performance of login will be very challenged.
Because according to the current setting scheme of function module authorization, for users with high permissions, they need to load a lot of content when opening the page, which requires high performance.
Also, be sure to get all the permission-related functionality done at once, no matter how many installments the project takes, as early as possible.
The third sin: the use of technical frameworks and databases across multiple systems. In fact, zhongtai is also a similar concept, but in the process of re-deconstruction and reconstruction of multiple systems, although we unified the front-end through design and UI, but for zhongtai, it is more important to build the background architecture and database.
Xiao Pang encountered the problem of several systems using different system frameworks and different databases. It may not feel awkward at the beginning of design and development, but when it began to use it, it knew how sour and cool it was.
For companies that have yet to develop their own unified UI and design interactions, the combination of multiple systems can be a nightmare.
Systems and the use of user is multiple, such as business side and client side, supply chain, financial, etc., required for each role has its own set of processes, and for some functional departments, they have already accustomed to the more than ten years of operation, all of a sudden you want to unified specification, also tell people particularly good, he believe you are a ghost.
The interest relationship here is mainly divided into two kinds, one is the user of the original business, especially the conflict of interest between the new and old business, the other is the distribution of interest between departments as a research and development system.
For example, it is good to have a simple function for a new service, but the old service must go through several nodes before it can be used, because the requirements for security and ease of use are different between the two, so how to integrate the interests of the two is crucial.
In addition, as a nanny-type product, many functions are biased to the background, so the front desk can not see you, if there is a result is the result of the front desk, if there is a problem is the background pot.
Therefore, how to distribute the interests of the front and back is also a headache for product managers and bosses.
The sixth crime: project promotion is like a headless snake. The construction of Central Taiwan is a cross-department, cross-platform and cross-business work. How to mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties, how to better let all parties play their own strength, how to ensure that the project can be smooth, quality and quantity online, is a key point in front of us.
A crowd lacks consensus, especially when people with different interests get together. If you ask one person to do something, he can finish it in three days. If you ask three people to do the same thing, it may take 30 days.
The pain point of the promotion of the Project in Central Taiwan is that it is easy for everyone to go their own way. In addition, because of the difference of gangs, it is easy to make a simple matter very complicated. Everything has to go through procedures and various emails to confirm, which greatly affects the efficiency of everyone.
Seventh clan: Project promotion is like an old man pushing a cart.
The first generation of products in Taiwan is doomed to be not well received, because just made to the stability of the system, the number of users of the system have not yet up, but is a variety of large and small problems one after another, let you overwhelmed. Therefore, the promotion of this kind of product can also be imagined, not particularly fast, you need to save as much patience as possible.
Not for the sake of ridicule and ridicule, I hope that these pain points you have encountered before will not be encountered again; In order to make the future more beautiful, summarize some bad cases in the past, to a certain extent, can make the follow-up very beautiful.
