He \ They have played in all stages and aspects of the project in the indispensable role, is the driver of R & D processes to efficiently operate, but also different from the one thunderbolt small companies core competencies.
With the increasing sector R & D projects, the PM quantity and quality also put forward higher requirements, we are looking for experienced from various sources or has the potential to complement the best talent to our team. You stand out from the hundreds of candidates, in line with the basic instructions you expect this post (at least so manifested in history and interview). However, no matter how dazzling your past achievements have, you still need some experience to become a good project manager of the gaming industry. Game Project management is a very professional job, first of all it needs to have some degree of awareness and mastery of the basic methodology of software product development, then it needs to have sufficient breadth and depth of knowledge of the gaming industry and production process of the game. Finally, it requires managers with extraordinary wisdom and mature attitude.
Six-month trial period, it is likely you will experience the following stages:
1) stage two of a smear of mushrooms.
Mushrooms tend to grow in the absence of sunlight in the corner, not being noticed. Newcomers, too, was dropped to a report of a research and development team to go full swing. After a short warm say hi, mushrooms often might know what to do, back to the station, to see others are busy, may not quite have the nerve to disturb.
First of all, do not worry, we will arrange mentor, help you become familiar with the new package, will also arrange a series of training. Then, the most important thing is to learn to take the initiative. You have to take the initiative to people familiar with the team, the Raiders take the initiative to your supervisor, the relevant authorities. Whether the project development team, or the PM team are more highly qualified personnel, the couple has a big advantage is that whatever you ask someone how "white" issue, we will inclusiveness and understanding. For example, if the first day, you ask Fu Xi is doing what? I feel normal. But once you are a novice village, then ask, art original painting is doing what? Then people will feel very strange. So, in their own time or mushrooms, on the one hand we are trying to silently draw nutrients for the soil to break through energy savings; on the other hand take the initiative to integrate into the team, became acquainted with you; then there are daring to ask questions, do not understand the first thing you can google yourself , ask your supervisor, you can also ask around you just met a small partner or PM team new friends.
2) phase of rapid growth of bamboo
The Xinshoucun also need to continue leveling. At first mentor or product manager, you tend to do some relatively simple things, even trivial. Every little thing seriously, thoughtful, try to do. Whatever the organization of work, we must remember to figure out what each other's needs in the end, do not be afraid to ask more people will be impatient. Otherwise, you probably hard to do for a long time, and I found that this is not other people want, but also mistakenly trouble. You may feel wronged, "obviously you did not say clearly."
Not! You should take the initiative to find out the task layout stage. And, in the process of doing to maintain frequent communication, you do intermediate process screenshots to see the other side (agile thinking), and explain their plan the next step. So as not wandering or doing too bad. And the meticulous details of each job to do in order to continue to be assigned and assume a more important task.
In the bamboo stage, you continue to stand out more and more of your name appears in the group, mailing list, the more frequently mentioned. But do not worry feel free to go to war. Large project team is a huge machine, existing ways of working, processes, communication habits have been run-in and some time to adapt, team members have formed a number of overtly or covertly collaboration rules. To ensure that they have sufficient understanding of this big machine before, his predecessor, for newcomers, this is a very safe strategy.
Even so, in the process, inevitably encounter some setbacks, some not so friendly eyes, you hate a few words, a few words of criticism from instructors may even encounter case public provocation to others and so on. Do not glass heart, calm and objective professional face of these, every workplace, people will more or less be some pressure and resentment, PM the nature of the work that it will be more challenging, remember, think of it as It is essential to the process of growth and maturation of experience.
3) output stage grape fruit
Vines highly absorbent, its roots go deep down, up to 10 meters. Deep roots of vines, strong and good and sweet. Its vines cover a wide range, capable of firmly "grab" a lot of nodes. Shallow rooted vines, the firm may flourish, but tasteless and low sugar. The same, PM deeply rooted in the need for team rooted to the business, build trust and strong coupling, the perception of various trends within the project team - Note that this does not mean you're going to learn programming, to learn to paint, go play a variety of games, so a certain degree of understanding, at least do not affect the general level of communication. Do not trade-off, a good programmer or artist does not necessarily do a good project manager. A broad perspective, the ability to grasp the overall situation and take into account the details of the relatively more important.
PM's job is to ensure that the project has an overall work plan and continue to identify changes and risks and treatment projects, synchronization and communication information, follow-up work to ensure that this plan can not be running out of control.
At this stage, you should be able to gradually organize some discussion, documented collation and dissemination to promote a number of process optimization, to solve complex problems to a certain extent, it is possible to project team synchronization project status and plans, and timely feedback to the project core stakeholders some problems and risks. You can tutor their own backup with the project to some extent. Actively summary of what they learned usual, and after doing some sort of record to the confluence of the rich go. All these aspects, you usually combined with demonstrated professional ability, initiative, learning ability, growth potential, emotional management ability will be a trial period to positive reference.
PM needs to have both the means and skills to Dead Poets Society, but also have the courage to play and lead the boldness and courage. I hope you can on this career path, and the line and practice, allow themselves to be influential large, well received by the trust and praise of the backbone of the team. In this process, the group will PM you can always rely on the "base", PM are all your family, you can always looked to us for help and support. Everyone progress and growth.
