User Experience Advantages in Sitecore Development
It’s important for software developers to know the products they work on, both inside and out — the code, the components, the user interface, everything. That way they understand the application both from the technical side as well as the user’s standpoint and can provide greater value to their team at all points in the product lifecycle. Unfortunately, sometimes project constraints are such that the development staff spends the majority of their time working on code and getting to know the product has to take a back seat. By only glancing at the UI here and there during testing, but never really using the product as an end user would, developers lack understanding of what customers feel is good or bad about the software being developed. These sorts of challenges are what make working with the CMS product Sitecore such an excellent experience and such a change from the norm.
