The quality that the Software project manager must have (collect others)

here, I am a project manager through the various phenomena encountered during the project manager to summarize the quality of the necessary, when these qualities you do not have, it will take years of effort to cultivate him, if you can not cultivate success, then please change your position, because the project manager is not suitable for you, It is difficult for you to succeed in this respect.

First, persistent

It can be said that in China if not persistent is not to do anything, because in the software development process to implement a variety of norms and management system, you may encounter a variety of resistance and obstacles, if you do not have to deal with the idea of frustration and preparation, you are difficult to promote success. To know such a basic fact, the key to the success of project management is: If you do not insist, no one will persist. It is impossible to count on the support of leadership and the consciousness of the masses. Only the firm belief, the effort to impress others, can succeed.
hold on until you succeed. As long as the decision on the management process, do not regret, only insist, because you work hard and achieve 99%, you do not know, and finally when you decide to give up when you may be successful. Know that you are ready to give up when the other side is also ready to give up, only insist, you can succeed.

Second, Affinity

affinity refers to the size of mutual reliance and mutual trust between you and the team. Affinity is your leadership team to the foundation of success, if a team of centripetal force is not enough, fragmented, then the failure will accompany you around. To each member of the team to trust you, you must be concerned about subordinates, actively communicate with subordinates, for subordinates to fight for legal rights. Caring subordinates is in the daily work on the subordinate's working conditions, the direction of development to guide, to avoid detours, in life also to their health care, to promote physical and mental health recovery.

to find subordinates to communicate is to eliminate the misunderstanding of the lubricant, but also to understand the true feelings of subordinates the only shortcut. The person who is the project manager, in certain things will certainly be handled differently, and difficult to understand. This time only to communicate with subordinates, and gradually reach a consensus, to win everyone's understanding and support. Remember, without the understanding and support of subordinates, you can never achieve the normalization of project management. This link is very important, I used to be too little in this area, took a lot of detours. The other is to understand the true thoughts of subordinates, often understand the subordinate's real ideas conducive to our continuous improvement and adjustment process, so that the production process more in line with the actual team. Remember that the leadership must be more respectful of the ideas of subordinates, and communication, if blindly waiting for their subordinates, then the general subordinates with the fire and fire can not be showdown, will communicate with you, so too late.

It is an important duty for the project manager to obtain legal rights for subordinates. Responsible is the basic quality of the project manager, if you do not often research work data to protect the legitimate rights and interests of subordinates, you will be difficult to keep your team efficient. Once, the performance of our test engineers fell by half, I found that the company did not speak efficiency only talk about the work time, he one day special did not work, the result of the company deducted a day's wages, but he actually exceeded the monthly plan of 120%. Understanding the situation, I coordinate with the company, the smooth return of wages, production efficiency has risen sharply.

third, noble character

"One-off is a personal, for generations to learn to behave." "The hardest thing to do in this world is to be a man of noble character. It is difficult to imagine a person who is obscene in thought can succeed, even if it is only temporary to obtain by hack, he cannot achieve long-term success. Only the virtuous person can infect the people around, make the team have centripetal force, from success to success.

There are three kinds of people, one is bullying, the other is holding and pressing people, the last one is virtuous. The bullying person's self-sustaining status is high and refers to three four, it is impossible to unite people, more impossible to achieve success; a person who holds the pressure is highly educated and domineering, or aggressive. Everyone knows "smell has successively, the operation industry has specialized", "ruler has long, inch has short", difficult to learn the higher knowledge, also difficult to achieve greater success. Only virtuous people with their own self-cultivation and character to infect people, the courage to suffer, willing to help others, obtains, only this can make you opposite the Germans are not willing to hurt you, united to all can unite to the people, have such an environment, how can you not succeed.

The courage to lose , first of all to put down selfish, if a person always around his turn of people is impossible to do. "People not for their own, Hindmost" is born in the 80 's after the heart of the general reaction, but to remember that people are first and foremost in society, if divorced from society, people may not become a human being. So only when you abandon your selfish motives and take the initiative to be someone else will support you and help you in turn.

helpfulness, is a good quality of human beings, like a song sung in the "structure of the human word is mutual support." The management process is impossible to be maintained by the project manager alone, and must be supported by all of you. But this requires you to help others, others will help you. No matter what happens to the team members, you need to do everything you can to help him, so the team can move on.

obtains may be the hardest thing for people to do. The Chinese stressed that "if people commit me, I will be prisoners", in fact, there will be no real enemy, we have the results of infighting if after 20 years to see, categorization malleability more than half people will feel unworthy, many people bet is a breath, the hope of their success to oblivion. What can stop you from succeeding when you can use forgiveness to treat people who are opposite to you?

"Dedaoduozhu, unjust, much help, the world shun, lost the most, relatives rebel, with the world's shun, attack relatives rebel, so the gentleman has no war, the war will win." "

Iv. Eloquence

good eloquence is a necessary weapon for project managers to impress project members, and when you have good eloquence you will be drawbacks. Hitler used his genius eloquence to conquer Germany, so that his "My Struggle" was carried out into the hearts of every German, thus establishing the Third Reich.

In order to implement the project management thought into each project member's mind, it is necessary to make the following speech principles:
1. According to the common goal of the project members, like them to make the speech content, only to convince them that you have meaning;
2. Mobilize the audience's sense of touch, vision, hearing, and use the blackboard, posture to assist your content.
3. Constantly summarize the effect, improve the acceptance of their speech propaganda, if the effect is not ideal, try to change a way to express and describe.
4. Let the audience learn and use, only their positive feedback, in order to listen to your thoughts more deeply.

v. Gradual and orderly

gradual, not anxious is the project manager in the project management must have the quality, in China's CMM process improvement craze, the real implementation of CMM management enterprises are few, and the CMM to improve the process of substantive for the enterprise to bring quality improvement and efficiency improvements of the company is lonely Morningstar.

Why does this happen? Is the CMM really uncomfortable for China to be in love? No, absolutely not. Is the project manager of these enterprises too impatient, even CMM2 still do not know how to go straight to CMM3, they neglect the objective law of the development of affairs, everything must be gradual. If there is a business in 2 years passed the CMM4, I have full confidence that it is to pay for the levy; If you are optimistic, an SME from CMM1 to CMM2 about 2 years, large enterprises will only be longer, not shorter, because they need to pay greater costs in training and communication.

As far as my company is concerned, the technical department originally had only 10, then the training of CVS version management to proficiency spent 1 years before the Cvstrac change and process management, took 3 months, and then implemented Finabuild management spent 3 months, Finally improved Cvstrac into Cvsproduce management development process and statistics spent half a year, during which the establishment of the QA Management department, and increased the project full-time management staff, the number of departments has increased to 16 people, is still expanding. Our sense of management is more scientific, process, the need for division of labor is more fine, the more people. The greater the cost of co-worker training and the idea of working with these people. The cost of developing management software also increases. When everyone is able to accept process management and continuous improvement, about 2 years has passed.
"Gradual, gradual, and gradual ." "This Basdede classic quote also applies to our field of project management, and he will gradually bring us to success."

Vi. Lasting Schooling

"The book to Time to hate less, learn to become the beginning of humble." "Learning, I found in the production practice, the whole project management process improvement is the" study-training-implementation-discovery problem-re-learning "cycle process, if the project manager does not learn will not solve the real work of new problems, more unlikely to stand a strategic point of view to solve the problem.

in fact, the study can not have no goal, otherwise the knowledge is too complex, and can not be mastered, such knowledge of practical work guidance is very little, the real knowledge is a goal system, in strict accordance with the process to grasp the knowledge we need.

Finally, I summarize the knowledge that China's project managers need to know:
1. Professional Knowledge: Data structure, relational database, operating system, software engineering, compiling principle. (Foreign project managers may not need to master)
2. Management knowledge: Project plan, project configuration management, cost accounting, risk estimate, performance appraisal. This is what the project manager must master.
3. Network knowledge: The architecture of the server, the configuration of various services. Since the building of the management is based on the management of the software, there is no network coordination of a service management can be imagined.
4. "Over the peak, another peak is now", this is the Chinese project manager in continuing to study will continue to challenge themselves, to the higher peaks.

Seven, dare to be responsible

A person is responsible for the survival of the meaning. As a person grows older, the sense of responsibility becomes heavier. In adulthood, the law also gives some responsibility when they are young. At the same time the status gradually increased, the responsibility will also be relatively aggravating.

a person only responsible, can produce the value of life. The greater the responsibility, the higher the value. In other words, there is responsibility, life has meaning. If you do not feel the responsibility, even if you are older than 20 years old, is not an adult.

Therefore, the manager is responsible, if irresponsible can not be a manager! The project manager is related to the success or failure of a project; for the company he must bear the responsibility of timely reporting the project progress, cost accounting and quality coefficient, but also must ensure that the project team members performance appraisal, policy implementation, reserve talent reserve responsibility, is the most responsible person in the whole project, If there is no good psychological quality and coping ability is unable to shoulder responsibility.

in actual work, the project manager is responsible for the project team personnel scheduling, assignment, work audit, work tracking, project planning, project summary, cost accounting, profit distribution and other responsibilities.

Eight, lead by example

one of the important tasks of project management is to define various specifications and formulate, but the implementation of these norms and systems in addition to the commitment of the project manager, eloquence propaganda, advocating training, punishment is appropriate, the key is the project manager's example. If the project manager himself violates the terms of his definition, then don't expect the team to follow these rules consciously.

as a manager to set an example is the most basic quality, do not violate the norms and systems for their own excuses, such as I am I am the company only assessment, I because of something more important things and have to violate. "Only allow the Zhou Palace to set fire, pets" words, is unable to put norms and systems into the hearts of people. If the project manager violates the norm, there is no other way than to increase the punishment in public.
say a real case. I was often late for work as a project manager, and soon the whole technical department regularly late. I am a project manager after the implementation of the morning meeting system, the morning to the first half of the company to summarize yesterday's work, discuss today's work, but because of the habit, someone is always late. And I'm never late, a little bit in order to catch up on the time I go to buy breakfast in the morning will be set time before the company, was seen by many team members. No one will be late again until the end of the project.

therefore, in view of the authority of the normative system is mainly by the project manager himself, only adhere to set an example, to his excellent management ideas through, to achieve the success of the development process improvement.

nine, to have prestige

a project manager speaks to anyone who listens, must rely on the prestige, this prestige is relies on own quality, but is not hujiahuwei. It is doomed to fail to force the team to carry out the project system process by the support of the senior leadership. Because the team members do not trust you, the surface obedience, the actual slack, is enough to let the process of real paralysis.

do things to have credit, Shuoyibuer, not because friends care about relent. Public is public, private is private. Usually can sparse, the key problem is never soft, not because of the friend relationship compromise, so as to establish prestige, easy to work.

Prestige In addition to the necessary prestige, the most important or credit, project managers do not have absolute grasp of the time do not promise, once the commitment must be realized anyway. Otherwise, when the implementation is unsuccessful and loses credit, then want to let the team believe you, trust you is very difficult thing.

10, good at summing up

project managers should be good at summing up, only to constantly summarize to improve their own, the success of the lessons learned, failure to summarize the lessons, the process of summing up is the process of continuous improvement, which is also the quality of the CMM specification required.

the process of summing up to draw the advice of others, do not arbitrarily own conclusions. Hirohito Director, the synthesis is to become perfect. There are two reasons for this: first, the project manager is not an isolated person, but must be integrated into the team, a process is not reasonable, not by the project manager, but by the members of the team to decide, to listen to the real feelings of the team members, and constantly improve the process to succeed. Many of China's CMM improvements failed, not the project manager knowledge ability is not enough, but they did not together with the team to summarize, after years of experience, we found that most of the specifications must have a reasonable software support to succeed, or no matter how advanced your ideal, to rely on the programmer to improve process quality improvement is unrealistic. Second, "The smell of the Tao has successively, the operation industry has specialized", the project manager can not be all-rounder, know everything. So it should be summed up with those who specialize in different directions. For example, the project manager may be proficient in the software development process improvement, but do not know the test process, network management process, quality assurance process improvement, and these processes are directly used in the software development process. This time must work with testers, network management personnel, quality assurance personnel to explore, to find a practical improvement program.

In addition to the project manager must have the above qualities, but also must have the value of time, to have courage, good listening and other basic qualities, I do not describe each, only hope in the project manager when you continue to cultivate and improve themselves, so that the software development process has been improved.
