Mainly record an impressive requirements review. Why is it profound? Because it overturns my perception of what R&D should be, marveling that r&d is not just a tool man, but can be.
background
The author is mainly responsible for Capcut(similar to domestic film editing products). One of the functions is to cut the same style is mainly to help xiaobai for fast film, reduce the cost of learning. This function is launched by country, currently only launched in some southeast Asian countries and the East Of the United States of Brazil. At present, the growth of southeast Asian countries has reached a bottleneck, so I hope to open the same model in other Southeast Asian countries, reduce the difficulty of starting and drive the overall growth of DAU.
The author thought
Cutting the same style in a new country requires a lot of work for the front end, so when I saw this demand, the first thing I thought of was how to achieve it and how much labor cost. Then look at the requirements, see what details are confusing and comment on the document, what parts are controversial, document and bring them up in the meeting. Then review specific requirements with these questions in mind
Meeting minutes
PM: Talk about the demand background, the growth bottlenecks, and the need to open some new Countries in Southeast Asia to drive DAU growth. Let’s see what else we need to pay attention to, and what is the manpower schedule
General RD: Discuss possible problems in practical requirements: for example, how to do internationalization, possible problems in practice, will there be ab-related requirements, and how to open AB experiments
Big guy: why only open southeast Asian countries, not others
PM: The main reason is that the Capcut of the same style is mainly online in Southeast Asia at present. The content from other regions can be filled as soon as it is opened. Besides, the culture of Southeast Asia is similar
Big guy: If it is for growth, why not open more countries, because opening more countries will definitely bring positive benefits
PM: There are legal costs for every country to be launched. Besides, it is not easy to launch a country just because it is similar. Cultural similarity also needs to be considered
Big Man: How is this cultural similarity concluded
PM: Mainly through TikTok’s image, which shows the cultural reach of each country. The countries of Southeast Asia, for example, are a small group, and their cultures radiate from each other. American culture radiates directly to the world
Big guy: go on line cut same paragraph certainly can bring of positive accrual, that this accrual how measure, what index is there
PM: The revenue is mainly confirmed by the increase of DAU, the number of contributions and the change of video exports. Currently, there is no overall evaluation index for the revenue of the same online model, which needs to be determined
Big man: after the launch of these countries, what guidance will there be to the launch of other countries in the future? Is there a large market to see
PM: Yes, I forgot what I said…
Big man: the planning and basis of the country on line
PM: Countries that need to go online are mainly judged by the cultural radiation zone above, because these countries have a wide range of radiation and greater growth potential
Big guy: At present, DAU is already very high. There is no progress in transformation. Is there any plan
PM: This transformation requires the person in charge to plan and then define the product plan
reflection
After listening to the review meeting, I marveled at the perspective of business thinking of big men. A simple demand can obtain a lot of information through thinking and communication between products, and have a clearer understanding of business value. Most programmers, including me, have a common problem. They focus too much on technical implementation, on how to write elegant code, how to write smart design, how to improve performance. But they don’t have a better understanding of the business, and the people who know the business don’t screw you over
There is also a lack of understanding of the business, which will lead to a particularly busy R&D, busy what, busy to meet the business needs. The product is what it says, no problem a tool person, this leads business programmers to think that writing business is not going to grow, it’s CTRL + C CTRL + V anyway, of course it’s not going to improve. The thing to remember is that business requirements are endless, and we need to do the important things by understanding the business
On how to understand the business: I want to make a special topic, mainly the interview group to do well, the understanding of the business, please look forward to. There are three main aspects
- Starting a business from scratch, how to grow with the business
- How to understand a new business
- What does a boss want to hear when a subordinate explains the business
Business Location: Guangzhou/Shenzhen/Hainan Prospect: Currently DAU has exceeded 100 million, great potential for development, first-come, first-served pit contact information: WX: SSDWBObo
