According to the view of modern project management, the project team refers to the "central management team of the project, which is assembled by a group of people and considered as a team, they share the responsibility of the project objectives, part-time or full-time reporting to the project manager".
The characteristics of the project team are:
(1) The project team has a certain purpose
The mission of the project team is to accomplish a specific task, achieve the project's stated objectives and meet the customer's needs. In addition, the needs of project stakeholders are characterized by diversity, so the objectives of the project team are also diverse.
(2) The project team is a temporary organization
The project team has a clear life cycle, which will be dissolved as the project is produced and the project task is finished. It is a kind of temporary organization.
(3) Project Manager is the leader of the project team
(4) The project team emphasizes the spirit of cooperation
(5) Flexibility to increase or decrease project team members
(6) Project team building is the organization guarantee of project success
The software project development team usually consists of: requirements personnel, designers, coding staff, testers.
Case one: More than 10 years ago, about 2002, I have participated in the "power supply business Data Centralized system" (hereinafter referred to as YX2000) project, as a key project, the company drawn from various departments of personnel, and a company in Beijing jointly set up a project team focused on development. I am responsible for the line loss subsystem development, but also is the company's software development manager, and is responsible for IC card table Integrated Management Information System project (note: Finishing stage). However, in this YX2000 project team, the Software Development department personnel does not belong to my tube.
According to this project management mode, other department manager, also has vice president, some opinions on this, there are backbone personnel do not cooperate with the situation.
And I still do my duty, careful to finish my job in the work, inconvenience to say a word. At the same time, I have to take into account the projects I am responsible for, as well as track other projects that the department belongs to, such as the energy meter life cycle Management system project.
After three months and a half-closed development, the project was suspended. Following year, the project was transferred to my department and went online in the summer.
In this project development process, I was a typical part-time developer, said that really is more difficult to do. In Human resources management x theory and y theory, I belong to the typical Y-theory situation. Therefore, the project development process is still smooth, although the team members have complaints, but the spirit of cooperation is commendable.
The experience of success lies in:
(1) A short period of part-time staff (three months);
(2) The general Manager to do the work relatively in place, and participate in the project of the part-time to talk alone, to focus on priority projects, other part-time tasks to deal with the consultation, and prohibit the participation of functional identity projects;
(3) Part-time staff are the backbone of the company, many belong to the Y-theoretical type of personnel, work actively, self-regulation and self-supervision ability.
The problem also exists, and the places I understand are:
(1) As the backbone of the staff part-time situation, is bound to affect the input of the work, design and development effect, quality and expectations of the gap, the objective is the lack of human resources;
(2) As a result of the system construction using a new technology platform, middleware for Bea Tuxdeo and WebLogic, the development of language to C + +, and part-time personnel technical direction is not very consistent, technical mastery is not up to expectations;
(3) Due to the need to rely on an external Beijing company, the internal part-time personnel to keep track of technology, guide the business, the impact of progress.
Case two: A non-software industry team case. In an accounting firm, there is such a team, Heilongjiang province, the first new Sanbanxi listed companies are they do audit, has now been made two, but also only two of them, team members of the group part-time different audit projects are also commonplace, its team and part-time features are as follows:
(1) The team is relatively stable;
(2) At the same time undertake a number of audit projects, its audit papers, consolidated statements, have their own methods and techniques of molding;
(3) Part-Time team members are divided into a longer period of focus on an audit project, and is a large-scale staff to do, there is a strong continuity, sustainability.
This non-software industry case, can enlighten us, we should have a stable development team to undertake projects, to undertake a number of projects, and we can focus on a certain direction and a platform technology?
Case three: I have just set up a 1-month project development team, the proportion of part-time staff is 67%, very difficult, the work is very laborious, I must devote more efforts to solve the problem of excessive part-time staff, what problem?
(1) Technical platform, different structure, can not be put into the project work;
(2) The team is not stable, the goal is not clear, why say so?
"A part-time person participates in your project with leisure," rather than joining the project team, in other words, the principle of violating common goals;
(3) Part-time personnel input is not controllable.
For the above issues, the solution is as follows:
(1) Change the plan, start tomorrow Cordys platform technical training, first form a common technical atmosphere;
(2) Accelerate the procurement of partner personnel, reduce the proportion of part-time workers;
(3) Start estimating tomorrow, plan for part-time staff to devote to work and devote time, and reflect on the plan for next week.
To find out what the problem is, follow up on the blog.
Due to the haste of time, shortcomings and clerical errors, feedback is welcome.
