Nowadays, the development of the Internet has gradually subverted the traditional industry model, making more and more enterprises constantly close to it in the new business, most people’s life has almost been unable to leave the Internet.
With the tide of the Internet, more and more new business models began to appear, some emerging enterprises in a short period of time more than many traditional companies, become the darling of the Internet era. However, although the business development of emerging enterprises is in the forefront, but the construction of information technology has taken the old way of traditional companies, the old mode of operation, can be described as new and god does not believe, restricting the implementation of enterprise strategy.
There are many reasons for the above situation. At the beginning of establishment, new enterprises cannot avoid the influence of previous experience, so that after entering the period of rapid development, their internal operation mode is still unable to get rid of the influence of traditional experience: Some projects add — > recruit core personnel — > build a team around the core personnel — > the team is fully responsible for the new project, and finally form a closed loop of operation. When the project needs to be expanded and integrated with other businesses, it is usually handled by the core personnel. Once the project leader changes, the project may be difficult to continue.
Therefore, in the new era of the Internet still follow the tradition, will produce a variety of disadvantages.
I. Control barriers
New business in the development process will inevitably have a steady stream of new people to join, over time will form a new department. In order to maintain internal interests, department leaders usually try to reduce their dependence on other departments, including technology selection, specification establishment, component selection, operation environment, etc.
2. Cliff effect
Once such a technical atmosphere is formed, members will have a huge impact on the overall project. Project development work may be stopped by the change of a few key people, and in serious cases will have to be redone.
Waste of resources
When multiple teams are trying to build their own r&d processes, their r&d costs pile up, resulting in wasted resources.
Four. Difficult to assess
Nowadays, KPI is ubiquitous in enterprises, but it is difficult to carry out scientific assessment in many cases. For example, when different teams use their respective technology stacks, their applicable specifications and maintenance methods will be vastly different. In this case, it will be impossible to judge performance from production efficiency, and it will be difficult to establish a universal assessment standard.
Is there a solution?
In the early stage of development, In order to accelerate business expansion, Internet enterprises usually control the cost very loosely, and the operation and maintenance and technology precipitation are mainly business development, so as to seize the market opportunity and gain more users as soon as possible.
However, when it reaches a certain size, the market will gradually stabilize. At this time, the incremental market began to turn into the stock market, the blue sea turned into the red sea, and the enterprise began to expose the problems left in the early expansion. If we can prepare for a rainy day in the early stage, we can form an enterprise-level unified development framework at the beginning, which will largely reduce unnecessary troubles, thus saving development costs and achieving maximum benefits.
Compared with traditional software development model, unified development framework has the following advantages.
One. To save hidden costs
By adopting a unified development framework, the project team can devote more energy to the business. The construction of a unified architecture platform within the project team can extract common technical problems, which can be taken charge of by a fixed team. It can avoid solving technical problems independently for each project, effectively optimize the work process, and save hidden costs.
Improve efficiency and quality
The ultimate goal of a framework is to make everyone look the same. After adopting the unified development framework, the standardized technology output mode can be formed in the technology stack, technology components, technology solutions, and even in the code specifications, which brings not only the improvement of product development efficiency, but also the guarantee of quality and stability.
3. Continuous technological precipitation and accumulation
Technological progress comes from continuous accumulation and precipitation, and efficient engineers are standing on the shoulders of others to complete the work. In project-oriented teams, the business needs are the biggest goal, and technology is just a tool to accomplish the business. For this reason, business developers do not value the accumulation of skills. The basic platform tools built by the core members often change with the core members, throwing away all the accumulated technology and at some point making the whole project impossible to continue.
When there is an enterprise-level unified development framework (platform), the development team can carry out their own project research and development based on this platform, without worrying about the underlying technology implementation, as long as the implementation of functions. In case of change of core staff, new recruits can replace quickly after receiving training, which will not lead to shortage. Developers can also continuously improve the development platform, better meet the technical needs of the project team, related development technology has been accumulated and precipitation.
Iv. Clear R&D investment and quantifiable assessment standards
When standardized technical specifications based on a common development framework (platform) are established, developers can be effectively evaluated and considered to avoid problems arising from technology differences.
The positioning and goals of a unified development framework
Unified development framework is located at the technical level, its main role is to help enterprises in product development and project implementation, unified technical architecture and development tools. It helps to build a continuous accumulation of skills, improve developer productivity and get rid of dependency on specific people.
