Earlier this year, a series of articles suddenly became popular on csdn blogs. Zhu, a blogger with the title "How To Get Out Of The software workshop with a dozen or more guns, I have summarized my experience and Thoughts on technical project and technical team management over the past decade. As of August 28, a total of 43 articles were published. With a keen sense of smell, Bowen quickly discovered and decided to publish this series of articles.
Zhu's name is Lu Jianwei. We used to be a netizen on the same technology forum many years ago, but this year, the csdn Shanghai hero will have a chance to meet each other. On the plane that came back from Shanghai, I talked about software and non-software topics. Even Plane meals didn't feel so difficult. This was also the conversation, which left a deep impression on Zhu's "stability and reality.
The book "coming out of the software Workshop" can prove my feeling. Project management and team management are oriented to the local and foreign schools, especially the foreign school. This book is based on ten years of practical experience. This is not an ordinary ten years, but a general programmer who has grown into a CTO for ten years. In the next five years, Zhu participated in and witnessed a company's growth from a software workshop to an industry-leading software service provider, which is exactly the path that many other Chinese software companies are or want to take. The experience and lessons learned by Zhu and his institution are of extremely valuable reference and reference value for small or entrepreneurial software enterprises in China.
However, the more valuable part of this book is the ubiquitous practice of the book. What software enterprises and software practitioners should learn most is a kind of non-blind reflection spirit. Each company has its own unique external environment and cultural atmosphere. The "Team architecture and management model as good as a successful company" sounds beautiful, most of the time, it is not in line with the actual situation of a specific institution in a specific period. It is not enough to make your company the second Google to offer free meals to employees, even if it is Kobe beef. The so-called management, norms, systems, methods, and human feelings are indispensable. Human feelings, or relationship, are the most likely variable factors that can never be ignored or despised in Chinese companies. In addition, there are other variables that must be noted when formulating the architecture and system that meets the actual situation of the institution. The so-called "I am" is not the same "I" as the "I am", and the readers cannot ignore it.
Another valuable part of this book is the online discussion between the author and readers. On Zhu's blog, each article in this series has a large number of comments, and Zhu often replies directly or indirectly to and participates in the discussion in the next article. Some of these discussions are written into books, and more are still on the Internet. I suggest that Zhu activate a forum for this book so that it not only has a printed version, but also has a more vivid and real-time online version. I believe that the Internet has changed and is still changing traditional publishing. How this book and other books extend value on the internet is worth exploring.
Zhu said that he hopes to write another book after his institution becomes listed and summarize his experiences and thoughts after coming out of the software workshop. I'm looking forward to the release of that book, but I don't think the content in it will be ready for a quick start until it is published.-Do you believe me? You may wish to go to Zhu's blog to check out the series of articles such as "CRM afternoon tea", which is already worth reading.
Update: Zhu will attend the SD 2.0 Conference and give a lecture entitled "coming out of the software Workshop. If you are interested, register here. You can also purchase a discount for hanlei at csdn dot net.
