Talk about what a project manager is going to do.

in this team project, I served as the project manager, although the other courses in the group task has been the team leader, but it is obviously different this time, the following through a few aspects to summarize the two weeks I am a PM of some of the harvest and experience.

1. What problems are encountered

The first is the increase in the number of our team a total of 12 people, these students have been part of the previous cooperation, there is no opportunity to co-operation, so just began to group a little worried about the division of the team, but fortunately, each classmate is very cooperative, the assignment of the task can be seriously completed, I am particularly gratified at this point;

Second, the teacher's requirements are more stringent than before, such as writing documents to pay attention to rigor, how the server response time is calculated? To calculate according to the machine configuration, and can not be subjective speculation, the document is not qualified to change repeatedly, so our group this week in the preparation of the project specification and demand analysis of the statement based on the improvement, the unclear expression written more clearly, not detailed description written in more detail.

2. What capabilities should be specific

A. Observation capacity

To be able to find the real idea of team members in time, after all, we have 12 people, everyone on this software engineering knowledge tree ideas are not the same, there may be people due to face or nothing specific to say their own ideas, then need our patient communication, can not blindly deny, Everyone's idea is to think about whether it is feasible, and then at the end we make decisions together.

B. Managerial competencies

Personally think this is the most important ability. In the project development process, we encountered a lot of problems, such as how to design the interface, choose what language more convenient to achieve, this time I need to calmly and rationally prioritize to make decisions, such as the final decision to write code in PHP, because more convenient to connect the database to write the Knowledge Tree interface. Another way to manage the team is to meet regularly, to understand each person's work progress, slow to do more to urge, quickly to appropriate praise, so in the project development process can always grasp the direction, not deviate from the main body.

C. Professional competence

To be able to express their ideas clearly, understand the minds of team members, but also to be able to write code, write documents, PS. To say PS, because before doing video drawing with some of the more easy to use software, no contact with PS, but this project needs to design the interface, and then encode the implementation, so recently has been self-taught Photoshop, a simple interface can be done, complex still need time to learn, It's always good to learn a little more.
D. Self-reflection ability

The proverb says: "My day Provinces." "Every day to do self-reflection, where to do today is not good, should not do so, how to do, what to do today, continue to maintain, find their shortcomings is very difficult, but to try to find and correct, so as to play a project manager role."

3. how I feel

Actually doing PM is a difficult thing, from the project to the task of the Division of Labor to all members of the integration of the task, time consuming, but this is also a very meaningful thing, I learned how division of labor can let everyone on average to do different things to get better exercise, also learned how to bring a team, Faster and better to complete the task, all in all thank you for giving me this opportunity, so I greatly improved the management capacity.
