It has been eleven years since I graduated, and I have been a project manager for more than 4 years. I always wanted to write about this aspect before, but I never started to write. Now I think about it. Knowing that this must be done.
A project manager, to put it simply and bluntly, is the big housekeeper of a project. A complete project intervention requires from the pre-sale of the project to the final operation and maintenance stage of the project. What is the role of the project manager in the project? what to do? I think there are various sayings and definitions in many books. In fact, in real projects, especially in the vast majority of domestic projects, a sentence discussed with colleagues is particularly appropriate. : You should go to the place of the project whenever you need it . From customer coordination, project cycle, to server launch, functional design, and even functional testing, if there are any loopholes in the absence of people, they will rush there. This is a true portrayal of most domestic project managers.
I am a programmer, a senior programmer, a software manager/product manager to a project manager, and I have built the system for a period of time, so I am a typical technical project manager. The projects I do do not need to be equipped with full-time software. Manager, so there are more worries and things to worry about, and sometimes it is more broken.
In the beginning as a project manager, except for the specific software aspects that I have my own advantages, almost everything else is a challenge for me, such as writing the technical solution of the project. To be honest, I used to write the design, but the technical solution includes not only the software part, but also the final deployment and networking solution. For me, this is a blank. Another headache is that this project has never been done before. The previous system, that is, the business, is also a blank for me; the more headache is coming, because of the sales tracking opportunity, the opportunity comes, and the time is very tight, and it is required to come up with a technical solution within two days, what should I do? Do you have more headaches when you see it? This is the most direct idea I want to write about "A Brief Talk on Project Management". I use my own practice and experience to write a series of articles that everyone can understand but not difficult or academic. It is also a book.
What are the requirements to be a qualified project manager and an excellent project manager? This is a question worthy of discussion. For example, for me: I am a technical background, and one of the biggest challenges for me is communication, but the aspects of communication include various aspects: in the process of working on a project, you will not expect resource-constrained communication. Is intra-departmental coordination sometimes greater than inter-departmental coordination? Hard to imagine, right? But you do encounter it, and the probability is very high; in the process of communication, if you are directly criticized by the customer (criticism is better, you know), what is the range of tolerance you can imagine? But enduring is the easiest start, because things always have to go down and move forward... There are too many extensions from communication, but I summed it up in a very succinct sentence, that is: you will know after you have experienced it. has grown .
The project management I want to write is as straightforward as the question mentioned above, and I look forward to completing this series, and I also hope to bring real help to the readers. This is the preface.
