Lessons learned from IoT projects
There are a few lessons that I’ve learned from my experience of working in the IoT domain. Keeping in mind the list of miscellaneous points mentioned in this section may help you avoid unnecessary hassles/issues. The list of the key lessons (in no particular order) is as follows:
- Scoping a project with unclear objectives or an unclear end state: There are cases where the scope of the IoT solution is clearly defined and there is clarity on the overall business objective. However, there are other scenarios where practitioners struggle to find the right-fit or optimum solution for the stated business problem. A limited-scope proof of concept (PoC) or pilot is typically executed to reduce the ambiguity and number of unknowns. As the budget for the PoC/pilot is limited, there is a need to optimize scope/cost but still obtain crucial inputs that can help to move in the right direction.
In addition to technical/architectural skills,...
