How I built a centralized system to manage 6 products simultaneously, track metrics, and maintain code quality across projects...
## The Multi-Product Challenge
Running 6 products solo sounds insane. It is. But with the right systems, it's manageable.
## Centralized Dashboard (QC HRMS)
I built an internal tool to:
- Monitor all products' health
- Track MRR across everything
- Manage support tickets in one place
- Deploy updates with one click
## Time Management
### The 2-Hour Rule
Each product gets minimum 2 hours per week of dedicated attention.
### Priority Matrix
1. **Revenue-generating** - Features that directly increase MRR
2. **Bug fixes** - Anything affecting user experience
3. **Maintenance** - Updates, security patches
4. **Nice-to-haves** - Everything else
## Shared Code Libraries
I extracted common functionality into shared packages:
- Authentication module
- Payment processing
- Email sending
- Analytics tracking
## Automation Is Key
- Automated testing on every push
- Automated deployments
- Automated monitoring and alerts
- Automated backup systems
## The Result
6 products, 1 person, sustainable growth. The secret? Systems over hustle.
