Process friction in development

Short summary

Process friction accumulates within tasks, during handovers, and when work is revised. Identify it through process mapping and by measuring where time is spent; then address bottlenecks via role clarification, automation of repeating tasks, and resource reallocation. Always optimize the whole process, not just your local work—quality, security, and team coordination matter as much as speed.

• •Friction occurs within individual tasks, between handovers, and during revision loops
• •Map workflows, measure delays, clarify roles, automate repeating tasks, and reallocate resources to bottlenecks
• •Optimize for the whole system, not personal convenience; quality, security, and trust matter as much as speed
