严格审查开发组合
形势迅速变化之际,变量和假设可为企业战略提供依据,这就要求企业对其进行严格审查,并在相关计划不再可行时果断采取措施进行调整。环境充满挑战之时,企业需要重新关注那些能够产生可预测收入流,减少风险敞口,以及能使企业脱颖而出的产品、服务和项目。资源极度紧张之下,准确评估价值,并采取迭代方法进行创新和开发显得更加重要,但大多数企业尚未挖掘出的能力和实力要比他们想象中的更为强劲。

高效工程团队工具包
工程组织结构完善且高效,有助于企业控制成本,不至于造成软件创新资源匮乏。采用定量指标减少人员摩擦,使工程成绩与业务成果相一致,辅以定性步骤赋予工程师权力,是实现卓越业绩的关键因素。合理框架可为开发人员提供实验和协作空间,同时保持监管到位,确保其产出有助于企业实施总体战略。

实现并保持组织工程团队的一致性
为了真正充分利用企业资源、工具和改进流程,团队需要受到工作场所文化的支持,鼓励员工学习新技能,并充分发挥其潜力。无论企业采用何种解决方案,变革管理中的人员情况是确保团队发展的决定性因素,公开决策背后原由 — 尤其是艰难决定 — 对于在艰难环境中维持开发人员士气至关重要。

“如果一个工程或产品团队不理解为何要进行削减或发起变革,他们就很难产生共鸣,进而调整工作方式。”

充分利用危机
经济低迷时期,企业加大支出稍显鲁莽。但事实证明,在经济复苏时期,继续投资具备价值的项目,能使企业领先于竞争对手。应将经济态势难以确定的时期视为建设适应能力和复原力的机会,无论之后境况如何,可使企业自信应对挑战并实施变革。
