Project management best practices

There is always more to do and we can't get it all done. We should be selective. A light backlog is a happy backlog.

Regression testing checklist

Mitigate risk by keeping a prioritized checklist of testing locations and reasons.

Bug report template

Keep it as short as possible. You can follow up with questions later as needed.

Pull request (merge request) checklist

A simple checklist can take a lot of the work out of code reviews and reduce the risks involved.

A/B test checklist

Tests that measure the wrong things typically aren't helpful.

Redirect checklist

Even something as simple as adding a redirect URL can go horribly wrong without a checklist.

About Brandon

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou

  • Let's document things! Documentation benefits everyone.
  • I operate in a judgement-free zone.
  • The phrase "intent vs impact" is of high importance to me.
  • I prefer a direct approach, but I understand that others might prefer different approaches.
