Informal Processes vs Standard Operating Procedures
Developers should learn about informal processes to understand how work actually gets done in real-world environments, as they often drive productivity and innovation when formal processes are too rigid or slow meets developers should learn and use sops to improve team efficiency, reduce errors, and maintain high-quality standards in repetitive tasks such as testing, deployment, or security protocols. Here's our take.
