Why frameworks are important




















Express Session. To succeed, our idea must be unique and so should be our solution. If you are developing something that someone has already done before, you could check Google to see if there is already a solution available for you. As developers, we usually only need to connect those libraries, tools, and frameworks with a piece of a unique idea to achieve our goals.

If you are looking for a NodeJS developer, most of the job applicants will have experience with Express or Mongoose. However, almost 0 of them will have experience with your custom-built my-company-express-like-wrapper-for-automated-password-checking internal library. If you are using the popular libraries and tools, you will be very likely to find a candidate who has a good understanding of those tools, general project structure, and who will become productive very quickly after joining your company.

However, if you rely on your custom solutions in your system, new employees may find it difficult to get something done, as they need to learn something new again and that may take weeks or even months!

After a few weeks or even months, the employee will become familiar with your tools and then he can become productive.

Yet, he is not using any of his knowledge about the popular libraries. What a waste of time and resources! Just imagine the new employee who just learned how to use the my-company-express-like-wrapper-for-automated-password-checking library has decided to leave the company. Not even the employee is unhappy, as he has not learned something he can use on other projects, but also the employer is unhappy because a lot of time has been wasted on learning how to use the my-company-express-like-wrapper-for-automated-password-checking library.

Migrating from my-company-express-like-wrapper-for-automated-password-checking to express and mongoose and doing some refactoring may save anyone a lot of time in the long term, as most of the candidates will be already familiar with how these libraries work. Do you think that my-company-express-like-wrapper-for-automated-password-checking is solving a really important problem that has not been solved before? If yes, consider making the library open-source and you may even find some benefits in that.

People may even start contributing and WHOA?! You are even saving money on development and brainstorming! The good frameworks are usually open-sourced and so they are available for anyone to take a deeper look into the code and are also open for contributions and are free to be modified. The community usually plays a great role in maintaining the framework and suggesting the correct direction in which should the framework be developed.

If a framework is being used by tens of thousands, or even millions of users, there is a great chance that the framework will not die soon. Contributors help by discussing the code, submitting issues, or submitting pull requests on those platforms. Anyone can do that and you can too! Having a great active community around the framework will be a benefit when you start facing some issues and will look on StackOverflow for solutions.

A process framework is a tool organizations use to support their process and organizational improvement efforts. The most common reason that people use process frameworks is to help them understand and group processes into a classification structure to understand how work gets accomplished and the relationship between processes.

APQC recently conducted its bi-annual survey to understand how organizations leverage frameworks to provide insights on the common applications, guidance around implementation tactics, and addressing the common barriers of framework implementation. What we found is that the uses for frameworks hasn't drastically changed a lot in the last couple of years Figure 1.

Process frameworks help organizations foster consistency, streamline the discovery of new processes, and play a crucial role in organizing data and content. So, it's no surprise that the clear majority of organizations continue to use them to support their process discovery, standardization, and performance improvement efforts. In other words, most organizations use frameworks for their primary purpose: as a reference model that they can use to understand their processes and create a model or structure that ensures work is being accomplished efficiently and monitored consistently.

So, after it prioritized the end-to-end processes for development and outlined its governance structure it engaged its process owners, business process leaders, and superusers begin process development with a day-long mapping workshop.

During the workshop the team mapped it's as-is version of the end-to-end process and compares it to a framework to see how it matches the actual taxonomy. After mapping the process, the team then looked at best practices and benchmarking resources—because it had alignment with the external framework—to determine the best fit KPIs for the entire process.

Organizations use frameworks as the structure for managing their improvement efforts—including the development of measurement dashboards and the structure for collating information for their internal and external audits. For example Sword Group , uses a process framework as the foundation for conducting gap analysis to identify and prioritize improvement opportunities.

The team uses level-1 process categories to determine which processes are included in the assessment and used a framework as external point of reference—focusing on—for the gathering information in five measurement categories each with their own maturity scale to evaluate performance.

This information is then collated into a maturity scorecard. Investing in the task, not in the technology This is the basic principle of a framework: Not having to reinvent the wheel. Guaranteed upgradability and maintenance In the longer term, a framework ensures the longevity of your applications.

Summary A framework is not an absolute necessity, but nonetheless it is very useful. A framework is a pledge of quality, upgradability and maintainability of applications at lower cost. Applications developed using a framework are interoperable with market standards. Search by Algolia.
