I recently read a book by Zhang weiying.

For example,Industry leader is the integrator of the industrial value chain. For example, for Microsoft, it is actually constantly sharing projects with partners. For example, for the automobile industry, it is more about assembling parts produced by others, in the end, the whole vehicle will be sold in the form of a brand. As the industry leader, Nike is almost not engaged in production, and is more inclined to be responsible for design and marketing.

As the brand owner of final interaction with users, it is responsible for supervising the partners behind it.. For example, if we find that the car we bought has a problem with parts, we will definitely go to the car brand manufacturer and it will handle all this for us. If it dares to say: Oh, this is a problem for the parts manufacturer. You can find them! Then we will take it to court.

Of course,Brand owners or industry leaders should improve their ability to integrate the industrial chain.. Walmart's annual sales volume is about 10% of the value it creates. Its value lies in making the entire industry more efficient and orderly, and gradually forming a stable business ecosystem.

 

Let's look back at our software project management.

At present, project managers or product managers are getting better and better. Because he is actually the integrator of the entire business chain, his achievements are mainly reflected in the efficiency and configuration of various resources.

The software project manager should be the owner or agent of the product "property right.

From the perspective of property rights, if a project does not have a clear property right owner (or property right agent), it will lead to project deviation from the value goal. The collective can negotiate, but the collective obviously cannot make decisions. Therefore, any team needs leaders and leaders.

It should be said that the success or failure of a project is the success or failure of the owner in more sense. If the project manager is only an executor, rather than the owner or agent, the risks of Project evolution will be greatly increased. In the event of a major event, the holder and the executor have a different foothold.

Developers are responsible for "negligence ".That is to say, as long as a developer does not violate company regulations, no matter whether the project is successful or not, he has the right to receive a salary.The project owner is responsible for "remaining responsibilities", As long as others do not take responsibility, he will bear it. Even if he did not make any mistakes, he had to do his duty from start to end, but as long as the project failed, he still had to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

Software Project Managers should also be the builders and maintainers of the software development ecosystem.

Companies like IBM, sap, and Microsoft are all nurturing partners. In fact, these partners are part of the entire ecosystem. Of course, they are also integrated in the entire industrial chain, such as providing technical support, product certification, and module procurement.

On the one hand, managers need to build this ecological environment, and on the other hand, managers must maintain the balance of this ecological environment. At the micro level, we must be dynamic, stable at the macro level, and move forward. It is easy to avoid the first pollution and then governance. Do not wait until the project fails to take over to consider changing people, or wait until someone leaves the company to take over the relevant positions.

Managers are the main driving force behind projects.From the productivity perspective,There are two ways to increase productivity. One is technological progress, and the other is to increase productivity.Many companies regard configuration efficiency as efficiency, for example, they think that working overtime will improve the development progress. In fact, the true meaning of configuration efficiency is that the specified resources (such as funds) will spend 50 thousand Yuan to improve the hardware performance of the server to adapt to bad programs, it is far better to spend the same amount of money asking experts to improve program performance. It can also be said that it is also an inefficient configuration method to allow introverted people to communicate with others.

Make the best use of your resources and make the best of your goods. Good.
