About headProgramMy opinion is as follows:
First, we all admit that the descriptions of this section in the Mythical man-month are correct, that is, this work method is scientific.
Secondly, we certainly cannot do this in our company.
Third, apart from the traditional development teams, they may only have one or two or three people. Otherwise, I doubt whether a development team or development team of a company actually adopts this method. It seems that everyone is following the incorrect development method described in this book, (a lot of people are used to solve the problem. The problem is not clearly divided into different parts, or the interface Descriptions between different parts are unclear ).
Fourth, as the technical director, it seems like a myth in China to control finance (such as employee salaries and bonuses? Let alone Let the administrator control it. Of course, if the situation is ideal, in some cases, some enterprises, maybe the chief programmer, can give relevant suggestions to the leaders who have the right to decide the treatment of personnel, as for listening, that is another thing.
Fifth, in my personal opinion, if I follow the description in the book, the deputy and administrator obviously cannot be combined because the work content of the former is managed by technology, the latter focuses on personnel and financial management, and its nature is completely different. Skill Requirements for corresponding personnel are also completely different.
The final statement is as follows: I am also a person with no experience and have not stayed in a large company. Therefore, the above view may be very one-sided or superficial, on behalf of the individual, please kindly advise.
