It’s common to run into bottlenecks in your organization’s workflows if those workflows aren’t optimized. These can occur due to unbalanced workloads where too few team members are assigned too many time-consuming tasks, or simply due to lack of effective communication between team members or across teams.
The best solution? Integrating the systems and services your business uses. Below, we go into more detail on how this can improve your organization’s workflows in different ways to get your product to market as fast as possible without sacrificing quality.
Integration helps you avoid delays and potential confusion due to inefficient communication. When you have teams in different departments plus external stakeholders who need access to product development data and project updates, you need a way to make this information accessible to everyone anytime they need it.
Developing an ecosystem that gives all stakeholders quick and easy access to the right information and expertise simplifies your workflows.
Integrating all your systems helps your developers communicate effectively throughout the product development process and enables them to focus on completing the right tasks at the right time. That way they become more productive and avoid the potential frustration of working on time-consuming tasks that turn out to be unnecessary.
With real-time insight into your workflows, they’re easier to optimize. You can identify bottlenecks and come up with ways to solve them and identify processes that can be eliminated or automated to achieve a similar or better outcome faster.
A business with good integrations in place can quickly add new information and share it with everyone involved in a product development project, resulting in faster project delivery. Fast and organized workflows help your team reduce time spent on irrelevant tasks, improve their performance, and focus on key goals in the product development process.
Integration creates opportunities to improve project speed, resulting in faster time to market and more revenue. Using a tool like Starlify to scope, organize, and visualize your integrations, applications, and services to increase the speed of your integration delivery is a great place to start.
