Common challenges addressed by the Y-Quality tools
Streamlined project management and quality control are essential for the success of digital projects. But without an optimized reporting flow, a project manager and QA specialists can lose track of project progress and the development process can be prolonged, increasing expenses. Here are a few challenges the Y-Quality tool can help businesses solve:
- Error-prone and lengthy manual reporting, which can take up to 40 minutes and distract team members from more urgent project tasks
- Lack of transparency and clarity in project execution with a cumbersome reporting system
- Repeated software issues and bugs whose root causes are hard to establish
- Complicated process of locating important information in project reports composed by different team members in different formats
- Decreased performance and productivity of a project team as many team members get involved in software development reporting
- Increased chances of scope creep and increased development costs due to lack of a properly prioritized bug fixing flow
