Summer System Cleaning: Backlog and Solution Hygiene
In a new 4-part series, Kylie Kiser shares “summer cleaning” tips that organizations should implement. In part 1, she focuses on the backlog and solution hygiene.
Key Takeaways
- Backlog: In large organizations, there’s often a backlog of system updates. The summer season is a great time to go through the list of updates and reprioritize.
- Solution structure: Make sure to review your solution structure. “If you’re using managed solutions, you can use this time to make sure everything is within those managed solutions and review [those] in production. Though if you’re using unmanaged solutions, take a look and see if there are ones that are no longer needed.
- UX: Kylie explains that she also considers what can be cleaned up within the user experience – forms in an app, fields on the forms, access to forms, or security rules. She encourages users to do the same thing for views.
- Apps: Finally, take a look at apps and remove the ones that are no longer in use, find ways to enhance user adoption, and do some data cleansing.
