SV.COFinalise Internal Tools
Why is this important?
In a small company, the engineering folks wear
many hats.
The most important of them is obviously to code
But there’s also “tech support”
From personal experience, tech support goes a lot better if you
pick the right tools for your team from Day 1
So what are these right tools?
What kind of tools do you need?
Bare minimum: 1) Email Service
2) Shared Storage 3) Version Control
4) Project Management
How do you pick these tools?
1) Cloud-based. Not self-hosted.
2) Pay as you go. Free (ideal) or cheap
when you start.
3) Has a lot of users and is a well-known tool.
The reason for a lot of these criteria can be illustrated by a
concept called “innovation points”
Let’s say the startup has a limited number of “innovation points”
to spend
Would you spend these innovation points working on your product or working on tools for your team?
