We are all too familiar with projects and companies that only seem to be able to support senior developers, but this can get expensive, unsustainable, and your team can become myopic. Teams begin groupthink, ideas become stale, and it can be difficult to reverse the growing sense of mundanity. It doesn’t have to be this way. In fact, creating an inclusive architecture can help development go faster and become more cost effective.
It’s not difficult to begin adjusting your sails and create a team that is inclusive in nature to support junior developers, project managers, and designers. No application is too critical, complicated, or obscure to be able to achieve this. I’ll explain how to build sustainable development teams using a framework we’ve called the PAM stack.
I’ll talk through software frameworks, tools, abstractions, and simple steps that can help you start building products inclusively. I will also talk through how you can build a corresponding mentorship culture that helps build diversity on your team, and why this is so critical to your business. Finally, I’ll walk through processes you can incorporate, team roles, and how you can build a better template for the future of your business.
