What kind of software project team will efficient team management bring?

　　Project team members can be replaced if not possible in a given situation. Then you want your team to be better and complete the project more beautifully. Then you need to manage your team better. Effective team management can make your team perform better.

　　Let’s start by looking at what a poorly managed software project team looks like. If the project manager lacks communication and coordination, lack of listening and encouragement, it will result in inefficiency and instability of the team. For a software project with talents as the core, the inefficiency and instability of the team will become the failure of the entire project. key factor.

　　The inefficiency and instability of a team are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

　　1. Members do not work hard

　　In the process of the project, many members are not 100% dedicated, such as some tasks, which can be completed in only 2 days with their ability , but he took 3 days. And this is difficult for project managers to notice. And sometimes, they complain and try to show up in front of the project manager, but that's not the case.

　　2. Members do not work actively

　　In addition to the fact that members are not 100% dedicated, we will also find that many members are passive work. That is, if you don’t arrange tasks, he will rest. If you don’t arrange for him to check his work, he will rest. When he finds a problem and ask him to revise it, he will revise it, and he cannot take the initiative to summarize and think from the problem. All work is scheduled.

　　3. The sudden departure of key members

　　Every project has key members who play the most important and irreplaceable role in the entire project. Then, we also run into the highest risk, which is a sudden offer to leave. And this resignation is a fatal blow to the entire project. It is difficult to find a replacement, or only a few people can support him, and the final result is project delay; in a software project, what is even more frightening is that any number of people cannot Substitute, causing the project to fail completely.

　　If you don't want your team to be so unstable and inefficient, you must strengthen team management. So the question is, how can the team become an efficient and stable team?

　　Maslow said that there are five levels of needs, and each member's needs are different. Some people pay attention to salary, some people pay attention to self-worth, and some people pay attention to a good working atmosphere. So for each person, it is necessary to analyze clearly what his current level of needs is, and then take the initiative to help him when he is confused, so as to reduce his worries.

　　1) Facing the issue of salary head-on

　　Each person has a different attitude towards salary. In fact, the salary issue should not be avoided, but should be discussed directly. Some people will say that the salary, of course, the higher the better, and it is impossible to satisfy the members. Yes, it is impossible for every member to be satisfied with the salary,

　　but what we need to do is to "eliminate dissatisfaction". "Removing dissatisfaction" and "achieving satisfaction" are two completely different concepts. I will directly ask the other party, "Are you dissatisfied with your salary?" What salary range should the level be in? For example, this range has a "lower limit" and "upper limit", we may not be able to give him the "upper limit", but we must guarantee to give him the "lower limit". Then the difference with the "upper limit" is what we need to dig in other areas. Such as values, team atmosphere, etc.

　　2) Establish common values.

　　I often hold meetings with team members to talk about values. Some people will think that values ​​must not be eaten without food, which is a pretext for adults to deceive children. I think values ​​are the key to making a team work together firmly. Values ​​are the antidote to the so-called "can't work 100%" and "can't work actively". Everyone has their own values ​​and needs to be affirmed and reflect self-worth. As long as we are clear, we have common values ​​and work together to reflect self-worth.

　　3) Create a relaxed and fair atmosphere

　　The atmosphere of a team determines the working mood of each member, and this mood is the best guarantee for efficiency. Let’s think about it, if everyone is working together and they are all dead, let’s not talk about efficiency. The creation of an atmosphere requires the project manager or several extroverted members to work together to make everyone work in a relaxed environment. Of course, the atmosphere is not just about being relaxed, but about being fair. There are often problems in the project, so as long as these problems are treated fairly, even those who are criticized should feel that they deserve it. This is the best atmosphere for other members, because he knows that mistakes will be criticized, right will be praised, then, the only thing he can do is "do it well". Take a simple example, a person who works 100% hard and a person who works 70% hard, if the praise is the same, both of you praise very well. Then for a 100% effort person, he knows that he has to work harder than 70% of the people, but it is the same praise or the project manager can't see it at all, then the 100% effort person will only pay 70% Already working.

　　4) Reduce the cost of communication

　　There are many project managers who do not realize what "communication cost" is. Communication costs are the costs incurred due to problems in communication. For example, if you can speak clearly face-to-face, using emails, several emails will not only waste 2 hours, but also may not reach mutual understanding in the end. Communication Therefore, when you find that there is a problem with communication, don't blame the listener, it must be the complainant. In software projects, problems of communication and understanding often lead to "rework" of development functions that are inconsistent with expectations. The efficiency that affects the project progress is not the development efficiency of members, but "rework". A task that originally only took 2 hours, "rework" will generally cost 20 hours. Moreover, the consequences of communication are often the object of shirking the responsibility of the speaking party and the listening party, which will cause emotional instability of employees, internal conflicts, and in severe cases, the team will be disbanded. Therefore, we must do a good job in communication management, which not only improves the efficiency, but also improves the stability of the team.

　　All in all, efficient and successful team management can bring a software project team like this: 1. Team members work hard and actively; 2. The salary system within the team is relatively reasonable and supported by everyone; 3. The project team becomes a team member who works hard power.
