Ways to Improve Processes

The process improvements span a variety of areas from scheduling to communications, and aid in the general coordination of development projects.

In many cases, you can use general techniques that do not address specific areas of concern. These techniques are good practices and help increase overall performance by decreasing the time associated with non-successful attempts. The following topics fall under this category of general techniques:

• Understanding what causes contention
• Avoiding contention and model corruption
• Making the most of peak and non-peak processing
• Creating subject matter experts
• Using reports to facilitate planning
• Managing and coordinating projects

In other cases, you must identify and understand the specific encyclopedia functions that incur the most processing time, usage, and contention. For more information, see Specific Encyclopedia Functions.
