Problems while working with developers and how to solve them?
TBO, Adobe: Behavioral - What are the problems you face while working with developer and how do you solve them?
Dealing with developers can present a variety of challenges. Here are some common problems and strategies to address them,
1. Change in Prioritization of In-Dev items:
Problem: "Why has this feature been deprioritized now? Why didn't you do your background research better?"
- Explain the reasons for the change, such as government regulations, new market insights, shifting business priorities, or technical constraints.
- Emphasize the agile nature of product development where priorities may shift based on evolving information.
- Maintain open communication channels to keep everyone updated and involve them in prioritization discussions to provide transparency and understanding.
2. Change Requests (During Feature Development):
Problem: "Why didn't you review the product and engineering spec closely? Why change the behaviour now in the middle of development?"
- Assess if changes are absolutely necessary or if it can be scoped as the next phase of development.
- Provide a clear rationale and assess the impact on timelines and resources.
- From the product side, we should strive to minimize mid-development changes by improving initial requirement gathering and planning.
