A story
---------------------------------------
One day in ancient times, Wei wenwang asked the famous doctor Bian Que, "which of the three brothers is the best in medicine? Bian Que answer: "Long Brother is the best, middle brother is the second, and I am the worst. Wen Wang asked: "Why are you the most famous? Bian Que answer: "Long Brother is treated before the onset of illness. Because the average person does not know that he can eradicate the cause in advance, his fame cannot be spread out; the elder brother is treating the disease at the beginning of his illness. Most people think that he can only cure minor illness, so his fame is only in his hometown. And I am in serious illness. Most people see my major operations on the meridian, such as needle-bleed, applying medicine on the skin, so I think that my medical skills are brilliant, so I have a reputation across the country. ---------------------------------------

Meaning:
Medical skills ranking elder brother> middle brother> Bian Que
Famous ranque> middle brother> long brother
It can be seen that people who can solve problems immediately will always be sought after. It is not surprising that such a ranking is made.

Q: "If you are an IT project supervisor, how can you complete the project with quality and quantity ?"
Most managers first think of strict testing. Testing, testing, and re-testing are for fear that a bug may flow out, resulting in serious column consequences.
Resources are also requested from the organization. First, emphasize the importance of the project to the Organization, then clarify that the test environment is the final level to ensure quality, and finally require the Organization to have the best resources (test team, advanced se, etc) ensure the smooth running of the test environment.

I did not deny that this is a violation, but I can only admit that you have done 50%.
In the project management theory, quality management is an important part. Two of them are the most popular words: "prevention" and "inspection ".
Prevention (to ensure that errors do not occur during the process) and inspection (to ensure that errors do not fall into the hands of customers) are fundamental to quality and quantity. Obviously, you only performed the check, but not the prevention.

Question: "What are the priorities of the two ?"

Most managers may invest 20% to 80% in prevention and inspection. The reason is simple:
① Through inspection, the manager can clearly see the Bug management account and report the results of this test stage to the boss, as long as the bug rate is within the prescribed scope, it may be well received by the boss. The so-called "immediate solution to actual bugs, to prevent leakage of bugs ."
Prevention is not the case, but there is nothing practical about it. Even if you do well and the bug rate control is lower, the boss may think that your testing granularity is not enough, and may even doubt the project quality. The boss held high the banner of scientific management methods and took various measurement indicators to measure the quality of the project. Among them, the bug rate is one of the important measurement indicators, will they believe that the bug rate is lower than the 0.32 ‰ of cm5? Therefore, the cost of 80% prevention is not to get any praise, but to make yourself passive.
② Effective prevention cannot catch up with the "benefits" of the inspection, right? Wrong? 80% of the investment is worthwhile. 20% of the investment is enough for prevention.

I have often encountered the following two points:
→ If High bug Rate , Will scold you Prevention Work done Not in place ;
→ If Extremely low bug Rate , Will think you Check Work done Not in place ;
Sometimes it is necessary to create bugs to meet the bug rate.

For a long time, I thought that the investment in inspection should be much higher than the investment in prevention. But two days ago, I accidentally saw a sentence mentioned in the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic "," I have never been ill, in the treatment of disease, under the treatment of the disease ", that is, the most skilled doctor is not good at the treatment of people, but can prevent the disease. It can be seen that "protection over governance" is the essence. Prevention is not just a variety of checklists, ensuring that everything has the correct results.
It can be a system, a plan, a process, a standard, or even a sentence you say to others. Cainiao-level QQ management exchange group: 295388584 interaction (management experience exchange site): glxdjlz just got started, cainiao collection ......
