Research and development culture

Transferred from Sina Blogger: http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_493a84550102vdke.html

For research and Development management and research and development culture, have recently done some thinking, no matter we talk about more research and development norms and processes, tools and techniques, we can see the final research and development of the problem or return to the development of cultural construction issues, and research and development culture itself is the core of efficient team, the focus of the efficient team is the efficient individual, Efficient individuals are concerned with attitudes, skills and ways of thinking.



Processes and activities

Process is the basis of the foundation of a person also involved in the process, that is, we say the way to do things and steps. The work involves two types of processes, the approval flow based on the application of business documents, followed by a business flow that outputs a business value outcome that requires the co-operation of the internal multi-position role. The process has input, in the middle through a series of synergistic activities or steps, resulting in a valuable output.

Process activity is the most basic or I at which point in time, need to be based on what input, what tools to use, what output. The commonly said process core 5 elements, including the process input (input criteria), the process output (output criteria), the execution of post or role.

Processes and Objectives

Process is a lot of time and process is a meaning, English may also exist in the flow and process differences. If a process is fully automated, it will certainly not be included in the process category. The process is more emphasis on the integration of process + human + Method tool technology. The most talked about in CMMI is the process, the core idea of the process is still the above three, including the various process areas of the deployment of the emphasis is also on these points.

Goal, a result and output that meets the often-said smart principle. Goal management itself is the foundation of project management, but the process Asset Library is also important, so the goal management + process assets + Process related peripheral extension Process complete project management knowledge domain.

A good process does not necessarily achieve the goal, because the process can not replace the behavior of the person's thinking, human skills and efficiency, the ability of people to solve problems. Good process can develop good habits, can promote individual learning, but the key is personal. Similarly, a good goal does not necessarily follow a good process, and results are important, but not all. There are no problems with small projects and tasks, but when it comes to large and complex tasks, there is no prior process and method accumulation, and the original pure experience is difficult to reach the goal.

Project and project management

When a goal is identified, it generally involves project management, and a person can also be a complete project management, such as a GTD-related approach. The definition of the project itself includes non-duplication, temporary effort, the output of valuable products or outputs, which are the same as the goal and goal management. Therefore, the goal management is the foundation of the project management, but the project management still pays attention to the process, hoped that the project management method and the experience can precipitate in the project management process asset storehouse.

Project management is generally more targeted to the team or organization, has specific needs and goals, and has clear deadlines and output requirements. At this level, you can see that the core of project management is to break input into specific tasks or activities, organize and sort these activities, and integrate resources to collaborate and complete these activities or tasks, ultimately creating a valuable output to meet the needs. In particular, research and development project management can be seen, people are the core resources, project management itself will change the difficulties of the team's human resources allocation, synergy and integration above.

Risks and issues

Projects that are not at risk are bound to succeed, so project risk management implements the project's full life cycle. The most difficult problem of risk management lies in the identification of risk consciousness and key risk, and the ability of key risk identification lies in the accumulation of Project manager's practical experience. A priority project manager must be risk-driven, with a keen sense of smell in advance to resolve a variety of unknowns and uncertainties, rather than reactive problem solving.

One of the most frequently mentioned risks in research and development projects is that demand changes frequently and is unstable, and iterative thinking is the key idea to resolve such risks. Many of the previous articles talked about agile, and I have always emphasized that agile focuses on short-cycle iterations and adaptive capabilities, both in order to identify problems early or to respond to risks.

mission and efficiency

The final activity for the scope or WBS decomposition is to be done as a task to a specific person. Whether the project can be controlled in fact after conversion will change to the decomposition of the key task is controllable. This controllability is reflected in the efficiency and attitude of the team members.

Efficiency itself includes productivity and quality, and the performance of any job role can often be measured by two levels of productivity and quality, rather than by the workload of the person. and to improve the efficiency itself involves two aspects of the content, one is the personal responsibility and attitude problem, one is a person's own thinking consciousness and thinking power.

Team and communication

This point can be seen on the internet a lot of companies are doing quite well, that is, the building of an open, inclusive team culture. Any job or task, only the team members can from the heart to do a good job, really interested in doing well, really after the completion of the experience of the sense of accomplishment, it is possible to promote a proactive and efficient team. That is, the first or the long-term corporate culture has played a role, this culture to promote the individual's ability and attitude in the team, are positive energy of the individual's own efficient synergy and promote the overall team performance improvement.

Without efficient and responsible individuals, there will be no effective team, so even in the team synergy is the first emphasis on the individual responsibility, everyone must first do their job role under the work, and then better cooperate with others to work together downstream. The weaker the original cultural accumulation, the weaker the individual sense of responsibility. When you expect to be resolved through a variety of strict rewards and punishments, you will often go to another extreme.
