Five kinds of awareness that should be established in a successful project team

People often say: "a Chinese person is a dragon, and a group of Chinese people are insects. "Due to cultural differences between China and the West, it seems that the Chinese are better at individual combat. Therefore, project team management is particularly required in China. I have summarized the experiences and lessons of project management in the IT industry over the years, it is believed that successful project teams should establish five kinds of ideology Consciousness: Target consciousness, Team consciousness, service consciousness, competition consciousness and crisis consciousness. I will explain it one by one.

I. Target awareness

1. Target to person

Project management is goal management, and projects have clear goals. Therefore, everyone in the team must have clear goals. During the assessment, the Project Manager only pays attention to the results of each target. when the results are unsatisfactory, the Project Manager will return to the reverse evaluation process.

2. Combination of personal and organizational goals

In addition to completing project tasks, each person must have a clear development goal and effectively combine the development goal with the project goal.

3. Responsibility

To achieve the goal as required, each team member should have a high degree of responsibility to ensure. Each member is required to fulfill his/her commitment on time. Each member must recognize the importance of his/her work and the serious consequences of mistakes.

4. self-confidence

Everyone in the team should be confident enough to complete their tasks without being influenced by external factors. Especially in the case of a project crisis, the more confident the project team members are, the more they need to fulfill their set goals to get rid of the crisis of the team.

2. Team awareness

1. collective success View

All members of the team must realize that personal success can be considered only when the project is successful or the team is successful. On the contrary, the failure of the project will render everyone's efforts idle, and the outstanding members will not have a sense of accomplishment. Therefore, only teamwork is necessary for the success of the project.

2. shuzhengqi

The working principle of water buckets is more suitable for measuring the team's combat effectiveness. All the members of the team should recognize that the delay of the work of a very small number of people will lead to uncontrollable projects, and the instability of some modules will lead to system paralysis. This is a serious reality. Not everyone plays an important role in the team, but a negligible mistake may make the entire team suffer. Therefore, every member of the team must be brave enough to fight against practices that affect the morale of the team and interfere with the normal operation of the group.

3. Combination of personal interests and team interests

Consensus should be reached in the team-the team's interests are greater than the individual's interests. If the team needs to succeed, the personal interests will not be sacrificed for the time being. Everyone in the team can think about the team, consciously maintain the image of the team, and voluntarily constrain individual behaviors with team discipline. Abandon the self-righteousness of others, the high temper of the art, and the self-arrogance of the style.

4. Unlimited communication and long live understanding

All members of the project team should communicate and understand each other in a timely and effective manner. When the team disagree, the basic attitude of both sides should be to persuade the other party rather than force the other party, the only criterion for determining two different opinions is which opinion is more conducive to promoting the normal operation of the project.

Iii. service awareness

1. customer-oriented services

The customer is God, and all the work done by the project is to ensure customer satisfaction. The project team members must pursue customer satisfaction rather than virtual indicators such as high technical difficulties and industry-class performance. Therefore, the customer-oriented attitude of project team members can determine the success or failure of the project to some extent. It is a key factor that determines the success or failure of a project to provide technical services that help customers solve problems.

2. Internal Services for teams

The next process is the customer of the previous process. A famous company proposed that everyone in the company should look for your target customers and serve them sincerely. If you cannot find your target customers, it means you leave the company. In software development, coding personnel are the customers of designers and testing personnel are the customers of design and coding personnel. Whether the output of the previous process is sufficient for the input of the next process is another key point that determines the success or failure of the project. For example, the design personnel should be designed to serve the coding personnel, whether the design documents are easy to be understood by coding, whether they are ambiguous, and whether they can guide programming, any phase deviation will lead to project deviation from the target direction. If the two construction teams that build one road have done more work for each team and extend to the other team, the road will pass. If each team only needs the part of its own area, then the junction is the focus of both parties. Therefore, to improve efficiency and reduce friction, the project team must consider the next process and serve the next process.

3. Services for maintenance personnel

In the same sense, after the project is over, it is also important for the project team to provide training and maintenance to the project users and maintenance personnel at the later stage of the project. There are many software projects that have just been put into use and will be stranded after a long time, most of the reason is that the later service or user use training cannot keep up, so the later maintenance personnel are also the customers of the project team.

Iv. Competitive awareness

1. Balance responsibilities and rights, and reward

The project team should introduce a competitive mechanism and firmly adhere to the principle of balance of duties and rights, so that Members who contribute a lot and have a great deal of responsibility in the project will be rewarded to form a good orientation, in order to attract most people to the same direction, to make greater contributions to the project. At the same time, it is imperative to force the project team members behind the Team's work progress or morale.

2. handle the relationship between the protagonist and the secondary role

The project manager must deal with the relationship between the main character and the supporting role, and make the team's leading role realize that once an error occurs in the leading role position, the Project Manager may be replaced by the supporting role, to make the team's supporting role realize that if he can do his job well, the next project or a period of time will become the leading role. The presence of a secondary role puts pressure on the primary role. The presence of the primary role powers the secondary role and is the best competition mechanism within the team.

V. Crisis awareness

1. Mission

In particular, every member of the project team engaged in software development should see a significant gap between the national software industry and the world's advanced level, realizing that the Mission of China's IT industry to take off is objectively focused on ordinary programmers of our generation. It is not an empty saying that the industry should return to the country, but it should be carried out in the actual actions of everyone. If we do not make double efforts, China's software industry will be farther and farther away from the international level.

2. industry and market crisis

The rapid development of the software industry, in itself, is a great crisis, which may be eliminated if you do not work hard. With China's accession to the WTO, foreign powers have all come to seize the Chinese market, to survive, Chinese software companies must always be vigilant and be prepared for crisis. This sense of crisis needs to spread throughout every nerve tip of the company-project teams and individuals. Ren zhengfei, the boss of Huawei, has a famous saying: "I have been thinking about failures every day for ten years. I have turned a blind eye to success and have no sense of honor or pride. I only have a sense of crisis. It may have survived for ten years. "

3. Team crisis

In addition, the team members must be aware that competitors are staring at us and waiting for us to make mistakes.
