Challenges Faced: Overcoming Hurdles in Implementation
1. Tech Team Bandwidth: Additional bandwidth needed for R&D
Balancing high-priority tasks strained the tech team’s capacity for research and development (R&D), causing slight delays in implementation. The team juggled critical assignments alongside the demands of the new project, leading to challenges in allocating sufficient time and attention to the necessary research.
2. Involvement of Multiple Teams: Coordination challenges among design and tech teams
Collaborative challenges arose as design and tech teams navigated coordination issues. The introduction of recommendations, like reviews and testimonials, added complexity and occasional delays. Despite efforts to streamline communication, the interdisciplinary nature of the project intermittently hindered seamless coordination.
3. Custom Tech Stack: Challenges with an older tech stack
The older tech stack posed hurdles during implementation, causing compatibility issues and demanding custom solutions. Integrating outdated components with modern technologies extended the timeline. Overcoming these challenges required meticulous problem-solving and additional time to ensure a smooth integration of the custom tech stack.
