We’ve iterated on our process quite a bit for my startup. I agree that sometimes you need a completely new approach, but more often than not what already works for another team will most likely work for us with some small tweaks. What I find works pretty well is to think about the problem, apply our existing knowledge and experiences to the solution, make any obvious edits for our unique, then test it out. From there, we make tweaks if needed to get to what works, or we completely scrap what we know and try something completely new. Process, like product, requires iteration. But process is also built off conventions and modeled off core human behaviors. Chances are the wheel doesn’t need to be completely reinvented. My advice would be to fork what works on the process side, and use all your creative energy to come up with something new on the product side.
- majewsky 8y agoI suggest that you work on making your statements more punctual. For example, if I'm not missing anything, all of this could be shortened to: > We apply best practices most of the time to save time, but we usually tweak them for our concrete situation. Be sure to spend most of your energy on your core competence instead of bikeshedding over processes.
