The end of the first phase of the project, each team members are learning the knowledge of their own, no one urged them to learn, and no one to chat online movies and the like, such a formation atmosphere, the project manager and project team in a great Relationship. I am also an advocate of agile, just see two articles this morning watching blog Park: some emotion would like to write it down to share with you.
First: communication and agility in the story
Second: Dear project manager, I hate you
The second recommendation is news today, a lot of humor and very pensive people
A project manager in the project what role
Domestic atmosphere is "excellent learning Shi", into the field of software development is the same, many developers aspire to management positions, first, that technical field with each passing day, feel difficult learning; the second is The waves pushed forward waves before the waves die on the beach, the new technology is more an vicious, and big developers facing older marriage, children, parents desperately difficult problems, the body also watered down; the third is thousands of years of cultural form to do one Master It must be the administrator of the concept.
These three aspects is no right or wrong, I just want to say if you have not continued enthusiasm for technology, you want to develop a project manager or management, project managers must understand the meaning behind the words.
1, the project manager of mind
Never will be used as their own managers (decision, control, balance) on a traditional sense, the traditional leadership in the IT enterprise is not going to work, a group of highly intelligent employees generally have their own pride and dignity, your ability again prominent, can match all the accumulated value of your team members do?
The project manager is always in my heart to tell yourself , "I am a service provider," Recognizing IT companies, employees need is a new leadership (decision-making, consultation, service).
Tell a little story, a little biased not common, but maybe we can make some resonance:
Used to have Canada, the United States, India and offshore outsourcing destination (China) cooperation projects, Canada sent a requirements analyst, The United States sent a coordinator (as we can project assistant bar), Asan Guo sent the architect is. Empire State Department selected a "technical and official," the project manager to head the project. Canada is a big fellow, speaking speed multi-gesture, is a rice country uncle, capable language but often less critical when fired assault, Asan relatively easy-going but often some inexplicable sense of superiority, for not listening to opposing views. Quartet meeting when, reminds me of my brother playing a team of Siguojunqi now, full of mines and tricks, often a few hours will be down, the parties did not reach agreement. Canadian Han angrily wrote several letters accusing team inefficient public mailing alluding to attack the project manager, people look down Asan meters, is technically not attack Asan said the team had no idea business, Asan accused of lack of teamwork force. In short account is a mess, poor project manager completely not seen this battle, the architecture team own well-presented, Asan always pick his nose stare, demand is no boundary, Han did not know Canada is what you want, m people to be laid-back anyway, he is the representative of the party, a spectacular look. The company can not, do want to quit the project manager, team members is being provoked angry youth emotions. Finally forced the company to appoint a vice president down directly as a project manager, project manager, as former technical manager of the project.
The vice president to look, did not blame anyone in a team meeting, just smiled and said "Brother I am a layman, technology utterly lost, everybody is an expert, my main duty is to serve everyone well." After the meeting, the vice president engaged in several fraternity, with everyone a picnic, outings, family gatherings, we spare no effort to arrange the logistics work, every day before she would ask everyone the next day refreshments and fruit arrangements. Privately, and people's communication boss meters several times, to project risk analyzes, requires more square meters for the needs of intervention and confirmation. A few week, the team atmosphere of normal, Han found that Canada needs its own whimsy is stopped after a few meters people also give up the vain side of the imagination, the people meter also received a message asking him to boss indeed take responsibility for the needs of identified, Asan after several heart-vice president and a sightseeing tour, but also honest, for architecture thing is not so picky, communication between the project team basically normal, project finally normal promoted. Finally, when the end of the project, the three foreigners With gratitude to leave, would come back again and again said that the great beauty of China.
This project, the project manager completely do not understand technology, his ideas, only "service" this one word, of course, the progress of the project is his concern, but the quality and cost of the project he let go completely to the project team members do.
About the project manager or need to understand technology, a matter of opinion, but I think the project manager understands technology is not a bad thing, especially in the case of small and medium domestic currently the majority of projects, project managers fully understand the technology very dangerous.
The new leadership, the core is saying, " What can I do for you to have? What can I do for you to have? What can I do to help you have " in China, leading naturally there will be some dignity, As long as you are serious about from time to time, you will know your majesty, but this "trust" is not so easy to set up. If you do not think of myself as a service provider, but a control person, ask who likes to do things in such leading men, he is one that stresses creativity of this industry, just guarding a pipeline leading production code, work and have fun Why, what personal sense of accomplishment. Not nice to say, this is called dead.
2, awareness of the project manager's decision to have the decision-making rather than
The project manager will always be a guide rather than the emperor.
This morning the garden communicate with the point in the story Agility There are so many words
First, task assignment this thing is my single-handedly, and still is the relationship between distribution and allocated between me and the team, this agile and self-organization conflict. Secondly, I was assigned the task out under pressure of time, under description, agility and story have advocated distance, usually a word or a picture. Team members want to deal with these tasks, and sometimes I further communication. Of course, this process is fairly effective, after all I've been this way countless successfully completed, the projects of all sizes.
To be honest, this approach can not train talented developers, the code can only train the machine does not take the initiative to think about. Good way, even if you and your customers talk about a common priority needs, you need to go with your key team members, on the one hand can let our heads to understand the needs, on the one hand you can exercise your team members to communicate, On the one hand it allows the customer relationship more harmonious with the team.
In Dear project manager, I hate you have so many words, I am very much agree with:
You are a black hole of information
You are better at actively with your superior managers communicate, rather than the management team with you. As a result, important project information simply can not keep your mind, and only in some special period, usually a few days before the deadline on the line, you will be concerned about. There was a wall between the superior managers and developers, you're blocking the flow of information that wall.
You know you lead a group eager to grow, eager achievement of employees, they are your support is your wealth, money has a leverage effect, not to mention real people, you can not play them, these people will sooner or later leave you. To play the effect of money must be invested, people need to have the ability to play and they try to take the initiative. And if you do is imagine the pipeline as Foxconn workers, your team must be a group of berk duck.
The project manager and the team is to do with decision-making rather than judge alone, you even have to learn to let the team have the power to authorize the full selection in the details, in irrelevant technical details you consider the more you give them limited the more, as long as you pay more attention to architecture, high-priority needs, quality and progress on the line. Precisely, the project manager is the team's "core switch", the greater the amount of information you pass here, and the larger the project team will benefit .
Second, the project manager and customer relations
Since it is the core switches, project managers and customers there more like a firewall to prevent cross-border demand, prevent the transfer of customers to attack the morale within the team, software development teams can easily hit, developers have physiological cycle, an interesting the phenomenon is that the team longer stay, the more synchronized downturn physiological.
Project Manager and person in charge should be a cooperative relationship, consistent with the interests of everyone to ensure that the project manager from time to time and remind each other of, after all, are people too, wanted to set up in business performance, make some hot-headed Paul allowed unrestrained ideas that do not rush to deny, by the fact that a section of the analysis, a section of the statement by technology. It is not, eat a meal out, wash feet, relatively honest about (I hate to say the set of sensual pleasures, my clients and I usually eat a meal drink is spilled), a lot of problems under the influence of emotional factors will get a balance.
To understand, the person in charge and you never Party game, but the interests of the Community, a prosperity, a loss for both sides.
The internal project team, you want to pass the firewall is an objective evaluation of needs and even criticism, even those you put your internal team members brought out to outside the firewall test, withstand the test of what the customer came back and they will be more understanding of the customer (people) rather than software (the code), giving the software is used, not to use the machine.
Relationship Third, the project manager with the company's
The project manager is the person for the company, as will those who want to obey the overall situation of the company, more than stood the boss's point of view, of course, is the person, but also there will be out, king has not delegated consciousness. Do Lun project manager for the flatterer, as the project is not the slightest advantage. To learn to report regularly, learn to seek resources to learn boss with a problem and come up with A, B, C sets of solutions for problems according to his choice. Learn politics from time to time (not to representative government).
Well, generally I ran out of emotion.
Managers on the project manager is not in the traditional sense, he is a mentor coach, his ability to play the role that members, good communication with customers, to grasp the timely warning and resolve project risks.
The project manager has the primary responsibility for schedule, cost, quality, but you have to learn authorization.
Project managers master the technology to properly maintain coding everyday habits.
The project manager is the soul of the team, team members must learn to cheer and spiritualism.
The project manager is alone, team members can not be your real friends, company executives can not.
The project manager is not the end of this road, the road ahead is still very long.
