How to Use GitScrum for Performance Optimization Projects?
How to use GitScrum for performance optimization projects?
Manage performance work in GitScrum with dedicated labels, include performance budgets in acceptance criteria, and track improvements with measurable goals. Document baselines and optimizations in NoteVault. Performance teams with structured workflow achieve 40% faster applications [Source: Performance Engineering Research 2024].
Performance workflow:
- Measure - Baseline metrics
- Analyze - Identify bottlenecks
- Prioritize - By impact
- Optimize - Make improvements
- Test - Verify improvement
- Document - Record results
- Monitor - Ongoing tracking
