I have been working in IT for over twenty years now and every project that I have been on has major technical defects (that is normal for projects and not because I was on them…well at least I hope so). What is interesting is that, even though I am not that technical, it seems like technology issues always come down to the same five causes. So, like the Magic Eight Ball, I think we need an IT Magic Wheel that we spin to solve the issue. The wheel would spin and land on one of five common IT issues….
- Database Locking
- Garbage Collection
- Thread Counts
- Expired Certificates
- Indexes
So now that we have the wheel, instead of losing days triaging the issues, we can just spin the wheel and focus on the answer it gives.
