Ad Hoc Management
Nice PickDevelopers should learn about ad hoc management to understand when it's appropriate for quick problem-solving, such as during debugging, prototyping, or handling urgent production issues
Pros
- +It's useful in agile environments where rapid responses are needed, but it should be balanced with more structured methodologies like Scrum or Kanban to avoid chaos and ensure long-term project success
- +Related to: agile-methodologies, scrum
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Kanban
Developers should learn Kanban when working in fast-paced, iterative environments where priorities shift frequently, as it provides real-time visibility into work status and helps manage workflow without fixed sprints
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for maintenance teams, support operations, or projects with unpredictable workloads, as it reduces cycle times and improves responsiveness to changes
- +Related to: agile-methodology, scrum
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
