Project Manager pre-Growth

 

 

Recently, some articles that have gathered some insights have attracted everyone's attention and hope to have more sincere exchanges, especially pointing out shortcomings. Today, let's talk about the "initialization" Phase of the Project Manager.

A new employee may be a project manager for one to two years after working for a period of time. Now, it's time to test your capabilities. Projects are divided into many categories, such as basic research projects and large-scale comprehensive projects. Here we select a small commercial application project as an example.

At the beginning, we had no experience. Fortunately, we were enthusiastic. However, this is a project, and it is a skillful activity that focuses on the cooperation between people. It is hard to last without enthusiasm. To put it back, you are a smart person with strong abilities and can afford everything. At best, you are a good soldier, not a good manager. The goal of managers is to make the entire Organization more efficient. managers do not have to spend so much time in front of each other. Please feel deeply at this point. Therefore, we have to master some basic "technologies", pay attention to some strategies, and strive to avoid being a warrior and be a martyr first.

The courses that need to be supplemented first are three elements of the project: time, cost, and scope.
　　

First: Time

If the Three Gorges Project is very beautiful, the quality is very high. Experts are very satisfied. The only drawback is that the project has been postponed for two and a half years, so the evaluation of this project may be reduced from a + to C-or D -. Because of this large project group, a delay of one day will produce hundreds of millions of costs. Although our project is small, the principle is the same. So before executing the project. The time of the Project is crucial.

The customer has a schedule, and the boss has an expected schedule. Each project member has a schedule. As a project manager, you must coordinate these schedules, the achievement of a satisfactory result by all parties is prioritized by the stakeholders. Here is a small analysis tip: Please note that the boss said it will be completed by the end of next month, and you have to prepare both hands. On the one hand, Alpha must first show his boss in the first half of next month and give him a preliminary impression to avoid a big gap in his mind and getting out of control. In case of a mistake, he may have time to correct it. On the other hand, do not do things too well or too well. It is a waste of time without giving comments to the leaders. The leaders will only blame you for not doing things. Therefore, you have to leave some simple and easy-to-accomplish flaws for the leaders. Isn't it very tricky ?! I believe this will benefit the project team. Of course, look at the specific person, look at the character.

Second: Cost

You must be aware of the cost of the project. The scale of watermelon. This cost includes the time cost, labor cost, and cost. Calculate the Earned Value in the middle of the project. This is a key indicator. There must be a certain positive correlation coefficient between input and output. The lesson "How bold people are and how productive people are" is too profound to me. Remember, do not worry about anything. There is no such thing in the project, especially in public meetings, you must control your emotions and words and deeds. Sometimes, it is not necessary for project members to feel miserable.

Third: Scope

Some time and cost analysis. Scope is a simple task. Simply put, it is the degree to which the project needs to be completed. It takes a long time, the cost is acceptable, and you can perform both internal and external repairs. All links are well performed, and all parties are satisfied. You have also achieved remarkable results. This is an ideal, which is basically a fantasy in reality. Therefore, how to control the scope and maintain the enthusiasm of the project members is a matter of learning! A basic concept of the project manager is that the project is calculated independently, and the project evaluation is to what extent the project is completed, rather than how much it has been done for other project teams or for the next project. If this project may make some sacrifices or extra efforts for other project groups, please avoid them as much as possible! If you have to do this, you also need to make it clear at the project team meeting to get the expected return for your project team, not necessarily material, the customer's understanding and gratitude will help you get extra points. Do not sneak into your work and ignore the efforts of the project members. "I am Lei Feng, I am afraid of who" cannot be used to attract others. This is a scientific and beneficial commercial society.

Some may ask how to choose between these three conflicts. The monthly invitation suggestion is clear: the first cut function, that is, the scope, pushes back some of the suggestions that can be pushed to the second phase of the project, and takes time to move to the scope. Therefore, before the project starts, it is necessary to compress about 20% of the project time. This is only clear to the project manager.

The most undesirable thing is that the project manager performs his/her best effort to enable the entire project team to run quickly at a low cost. We will not talk about the final success or failure of such a project. In the eyes of project members, you are basically the same as Huang shiren. You don't even have to wait until the project is over. Therefore, in the first project, do not make the project members feel that you are trying to experience the snow-capped mountains and lawns. They cooperate with you. One is for the benefit, and the other is to see whether you are worth your attention. All look at you. Therefore, if you encounter unexpected problems, focus on them and summarize them later. This is what we mentioned above as the principle of being human and doing things: the price of what level of things has to be paid!

In fact, for the first time, do not take too much responsibility for success or failure. You must write your own lessons. Some people say that even if only one battle is performed, a soldier will become a real soldier. Who has never been there for the first time? To be a human, you must be able to withstand failures, but you must be clear about failure.

Some people say that programmers have three levels of life. The first heavy, see the mountains, see the water. Beginners can only see things on the surface. For various reasons, they cannot understand more deeply. Second, see the mountains are not mountains, see the water is not water. After growing up and having experience, we can see the surface phenomenon gradually become a model, as if the detailed map of the marching has become clear to our chest. Third, seeing mountains is also a mountain, and seeing water is also a water. After the big understanding, the light, the loose, the services seem clumsy, but the truth is the secret of xuanjicang. At this time, there are also various diagrams in the chest, although the surface is restrained to hide self-confidence, people speak, hell and ghosts, that is, the spirit is also.

If you want to cultivate yourself to the third realm of being calm and idle, use your heart and wisdom!
