First, what is real project management
Any successful project is impossible to be a personal credit. A successful project is the result of many people in multiple departments. These people make up a project team with different levels, talents, work style and knowledge.
The project team needs to have a common goal, common prospects, and clearly know what they have to do. The team, no matter what report structure, must work and encourage business goals.
The project manager is the leadership of the project team. He / her duty is that the motivation team completes the task in a positive way. The position needs to have technical and interpersonal skills, and the contents of attention is needed (the order is as follows) as follows:
business
the company
project
team
personal
Technology and method changes
The skills of the project manager should include technical skills and management skills, solid technical foundations can guide the team in technology, management skills help communication and solve problems. Management skills are not limited to technology, but also the ability to solve problems, estimates the ability, and the ability to prepare plans, interpersonal and
Communication skills.
You may have realized that you ignore or lack knowledge in some areas. Therefore, the readers of this article are:
*
Didn't have a project manager
*
Already a project manager, but people think that their skills have been outdated
Second, what is the project manager?
Project manager role
Project management is an estimate, planning, restructuring, integration, assessment, and amendments, etc., including managers, users to participate and solve problems until the business purpose of the project.
What kind of person does management need?
Every manager is looking for people who have the ability to complete a business goal. The most difficult thing is to understand what they know and can be done. More difficult is, I don't know how many people needed. Therefore, you must make recruiters think you are sincere and reliable. This is not limited to the project, but also includes management and customers.
keep in touch.
Management means that it can be visible regardless of an adaptive or unfavorable environment. You must show your management talent when the problem is not described in detail or without an optional solution. If you let the management to solve all the questions, if you have any use, the management is doing your work.
Personnel management skills
Understanding people's psychology and their way is one of the necessary qualities for the project manager. Everyone is different. By understanding your way of working with others, you can relieve the pressure and facilitate communication.
The slogan of IBM has been "respect for everyone." This specifically manifesse to understand people in your daily work. To do this, you have to know yourself and know how you motivate others or put pressure on others.
Reading Mys-Brigs (Myers-Briggs) Personality Type Analysis is a good start. Katherine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs-Myers prepared questionnaire (MBTI Mers Brigs Personality Type Direction) is used to help people find their personal style and the impact on the team. The questionnaire was developed on the basis of "psychological type" of Carl Jung. Such books can be found in the bookstore for self-improvement and psychology.
You should understand personal work style and keep in mind these practices. The items listed below should be a second instinct that is in people. It is also a common sense for each project manager who wants to succeed:
Respect for each employee (supplier)
Humble
Do decision-making
Don't criticize others in public
Understand your strength and the order of doing things
Sincerely listen to the comments and suggestions of team members
Clear understanding of the goals and delivery products
Promote cooperation and information sharing in the IT team
Understand everyone's doing style and their advantages and disadvantages
The form should be sincerely express from the way of team members.
Connect negative impact as a chance to grow
Provide guidance in a positive way
You can't manage what you can't control
As mentioned earlier, project management is to perform a series of repeatable tasks to complete a business goal. In order to complete the task, you must establish a control system. Therefore, the following aspects should be prepared:
Measurement Method: Measurement Method If there is no management or use, it will have a negative impact. The metric method can be used as a planned "input", which can be counted in the project progression, and provide a reference for the next item or project. Using a metric method to assess the performance of employees is inappropriate.
Project Plan: Key checkpoints that are being executed by developing project programs. These checkpoints are road signs to reach the business goals. Remember that the project plan is only useful for new development projects. They are equally important in support and maintenance. Many project managers have made the same mistake, they have prepared a very excellent plan, but never put it into practice. In fact, they rarely work according to the plan.
Budget: Estimated and preparing a plan to make a budget. Many project managers must make and manage their own budget. If you can make the actual progress and plan, then your work will become relatively simple. Most project management tools have a fee (by hours, days, or annual) to a resource. The financial department of many companies believes that the resource costs include the general management cost of the enterprise. Other companies may calculate according to project names or users, management methods, employees and consultants. (For consultants, thinking about their overtime pay) equipment costs should also be considered separately. Remember to consider the software tools and hardware required to run the project application. (Such as the color printer of the sales department)
Employee Work Plan: People are valuable in any project. A person can promote the success of the project or the progress of the project, or may result in damage to the project. Employee work plan can play a constructive and practical role in the growth of employees. Most organizations have their own format. However, no matter how the form is, the following must include: clear responsibility; objectively evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of employees; providing employees to develop their development direction and assessment.
Project management reward / pressure
The role of the project manager is a double-edged sword. This position should bear a certain pressure and will receive the corresponding reward. Once you become a project manager, you must prepare these two aspects.
Successfully completed a system, everyone will reward. Can help employees develop their potential is the unique return of the project manager. In any task, people are the most important elements. By using your own management skills, a dynamic team is a proud team.
The person is also the largest pressure. People will be affected by those who are not controlled by you. The difficulties of team members are difficult, and the personal conflicts between each other require project managers to handle.
Anything about applications or team members is the first thing to find is the project manager. The upper leaders and users think that you are the only person in charge of the project delay, the demand omission, BUG and incorrect system in the system.
Third, the method of preparing interview
Book, magazine, organization and seminar
There are many places where multi-effect management practices are listed in the reference catalog herein. To find management books, including technical management and business management. Reading management masters, such as Peter Drucker, c. A. Gallagher and A.MASLOW written books and articles. They provide management knowledge that are used in any field. Masters of information management, for example, Tom Demarco, M. Page-Jones, Ed Yourdon, L. L. Constantine, and more provide a clearer, practical testing.
If you have to work with the user, you have to read a professional book in the relevant field. Understanding business is more important than understanding the technical environment. In fact, let users participate in the interview process more and more popular. It is a great magazine to be prepared to be prepared, you can buy a "Harvard Business Review". This is a good magazine, which is also suitable for IT management. Many IT magazines such as "CIO magazine" and articles on project management and personnel management in the books listed in the reference book. These magazines also include summary or detailed technical articles.
You can contact the US Management Association (AMA) and other business organizations to obtain management information. It is worth mentioning that the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of the University of Kaniki University (SEI) is proposed in the 1990s, the latest standard version is SEI9000.
Many technical seminars, such as Digital Consulting and Technology Transfer Institute, have many different field project management and technical seminars. another
The way is through your organization. They may provide courses such as authorization, negotiations, and listening skills, all of which help you prepare project management.
Software you should understand
Master a project management tool. For example, Microsoft's Project and Applied Business Technology Technology / Project Workbench. All of these tools have many effective project management methods and terminology.
In addition to the tools mentioned above, there is an increasingly popular tool to help projects in different technical environments in planning, cost estimation and management methods. This tool is LBMS / Process Engineer with a tool with a CASE interface.
If you have used this type of tool, listed these contents in your resume. Of course, not only to master tools, you must also have a solid foundation knowledge and project management methods.
A project manager must resume more. Communication with Email has replaced the phone and mailing memo. Many companies have their own systems, as well as many companies use Lotus Notes. No matter what product, you must have the following performance:
*
Can contact people in different geographic locations
*
Can effectively notify the team (including suppliers), progressive changes
*
Can solve small problems quickly
*
Remember the difference in people's working methods, people in the personality are more willing to communicate through email. This way they can have a time to think about the question rather than making an answer at the meeting.
As a project manager, you might be reported (Report) and introduction. Therefore, you need to master the word processing software and graphics software. These software can be bought in the market. List this type of software you will use on your resume.
Look for ideology
Any industry has a good project manager and a poor project manager. You can get revelation from both project managers (what should be done, what should be avoided). If possible, ask some excellent project managers how they do. If you are not very clear about your career development path, you can take an article that has just been read and asks these project managers to this article.
A sign of a successful project manager has a positive team with an atmosphere, the trust of the upper leaders and the respect of the user. The consistent action is another sign, which is the basis for measuring leadership. Excellent project managers should understand the strengths and shortcomings of each employee. They believe that failure is not a shortcoming, but a learning opportunity. Project managers must establish a professional standard. But according to a set of perfect examples, management is a failure project manager. This means that they are versatile, but they have embodied their ability to authorize and communicate. Make the employees who have thought to actively work negatively to ruin the project manager. Your ability in technology should be used for guidance and training employees. If you participate in programming or design, you are not developing your team, nor is it a project manager.
Project planning technology
The following is the terms and charts prepared by the project planning in the interview. Most project plan preparation tools use or all of the terms and features. You should review a useful one or more project management tools, which helps you further familiarize yourself with common technology and features.
Chart type:
Gantt Chart: Graphic, especially bar chart, describe the graph of project progress. Each strip symbol represents a different meaning. For example: bar symbols and / or colors of critical tasks may differ from non-critical tasks. Summary The symbol of the task (activity or phase) may be different in other tasks.
PERT Map: The current dependency of all tasks is used in a flowchart. Pert meaning is a planning evaluation and review technology. It is a network diagram.
Task list: List the project plan in text / vertical. Typically at least the following column should be included: task number, task name, start date, end date, duration, and work efficiency.
Work Decomposition Structure: Structure of Project Tasks and / or Activity.
Key path: It is a path throughout the project, indicating that the dependency between the tasks involved in the project is successfully completed. Adjusting the time schedule of the task on the critical path will affect the delivery time of the entire project. Key Path Method (CRM) Figure is a network diagram for project
Control and coordinate the activities and events of the project.
Delivery results: prove that one or more task completed tangible things. For example: logical data model.
Dependencies: The connection between tasks affects the start time of one or more tasks. For example, you cannot start programming before you can't figure out the needs.
JAD / Simplified Method: Joint Application Design (Simplified Method is the term in the 1990s). A set of results-oriented, brain storm, have a common business destination information collection / sharing meeting. This method is that IBM is developed in 1970, consisting of fixed, structured processes, and under the leadership of an experienced implementer. The simplification method removes some structures, however, all parties must be required to participate in all meetings and a recorder with modeling technology. Participants include project team, management (and users) and administrative officials. For the success of the meeting, everyone must understand and agree with their tasks as soon as possible.
Delay: It is the delay time between the end time of the task and the start time of the task associated therewith. This allows the task end time and the start time overlap and elongation.
Methodology: A clear, organized, repeatable, structured method / technology to complete a universal purpose. These technologies or guidelines define steps, tasks, roles, purpose, and deliverables, which are required to achieve successful implementation of any system.
Measuring standards: a method of consistent and repeatable measuring the size and complexity of a project. Standards are prepared to use one of many methods in the entire project life. The popularity used today is:
a) Function (Allan Abrecht)
b) Important events (Tom Demarco)
c) Weighted average
d) code line
Milestone: The end of an important event in the project life. Usually a milestone is an activity on a key path. It doesn't have to be a tangible delivery product such as a logical data model, but it can be a user's affirmation of work. Phase / Event / Summary Title: Summary level concept. Not all project management tools emphasize a specific phase and a summary level format, but many standard development methods use these terms to decompose.
RAD: Fast application development (if you do not use it correctly). Accelerate development work by using the application generator, modeling, and rapid prototype tool. The biggest improvement is to add a rapid prototype throughout the entire development life cycle. This understands how to provide excellent tools before encoding.
Resource Limit: A plan and schedule developed by a obtained resource based on the number of resources, the skill of each resource, and the plan and schedule developed by the resource working schedule.
Range Change: An increase in the function of the original design requirement without the evaluation of personnel, time or costs. Range changes may be a commercial user or a enthusiastic programmer. Both affect the delivery of the system and cannot be estimated, analyzed, or records.
The key points of the expression in the interview (even if the problem is not asked)
If you don't manage experience
For those who have never formally managed a project, it may be a non-official man. In those cases, when it emphasizes their technical background advantage, it needs to be clearly explained that they don't recognize those skills they have mastered. You can mention how you have to lead a large development team in the unauthorized situation. It is necessary to emphasize that there is no solid technology, your engineering tasks and estimates may be excessively simplified. When you are a leader of the project, you need to provide technical coherent to avoid team overload.
If your technical skill is in the future, it is outdated or different.
You don't need to understand how the technical environment is working, but you should understand the general concepts and features determine the ability and weaknesses of the environment. Many project management techniques are exceeding technology. Therefore, if your technical skill is lost, you can still emphasize that you can have an independent responsibility in technology. mention

Question 1: What is the difference between construction period and workload? Answer 1: The period of time is the number of days on the commercial / calendar, and has nothing to do with the number of people. The workload is a person who has nothing to do with the number of calendar days. E.g:
One day's workload is 50% of the people in the time at the time, his work is two days. If the two people work, the construction period is 1 day, and the workload is two working days.
Question 2: How do I consider the dependence when preparing a project plan?
Answer 2: Dependent relationship can be represented by using the software package used. Relationships illustrate the relationship / side request between tasks. The dependency can refer to another task must be completed before another task can begin. For example, logical model
It must be done before the physical model. But the test is not to start after all programming work is completed, and if there is no completed program has no effect on linear testing.
Project plans to join the dependencies, you can find the key path of the project and can determine its impact on the project duration.
Question 3: How do you combine people's work and plan?
Answer 3: According to the specific tool used, you can dismantle the resource into smaller resources / units, or you can remove the task into a smaller task.
Question 4: How do you combine training, holidays, and personal education schedules?

Question 5: How do you arrange similar state meetings throughout the project but just a minor time and workload tasks?
Answer 5: It will be as long as the entire project time, accounting for a small amount of workload. Everyone assigned to the task is very low in the time of this task.
Question 6: What is the fact that the role of the plan and the active predicted comparison?
Answer 6: In accordance with specific tools used, each tool enters independent elements / domain information in a live report. It is also possible to classify the report to the team members and other relevant groups to indicate the changes in key paths or adjustments to the timetable. These reports have achieved job evaluation and as
Value values in the planning of the next project or phase. Another valuable use of the estimates and live reports is to record the impact of the range change on the project.
Skills for project plan
Question 7: Why do you develop a project plan?
Answer 7: The project plan is a roadmap for implementing a successful system. It provides a means to inform everyone to do what they do and when they are finished. It helps the project manager to enable management, business users and support groups to understand the status and adjust special resources. "List" of item by item Assistance
What changes affect the rapid assessment. When the live report is linked to the plan, the project plan provides useful information for the task division and estimation of future projects.
Question 8: How will you start the project plan?
Answer 8: Process arrangement is an art. According to the facts known to business objectives, the company's general standards, as well as the past experience. It can begin with a clear definition of scope and goals. Do the risks and restrictions of the project. Poor estimates stem from lack of business knowledge and project scope
. You can start from project task, such as first dividing phases, then define activities in each phase, and then define tasks in each activity.

Project managers, development teams, support teams, and management, business users are beneficial.
Question 9: How will you start the project plan?
Answer 9: Enter the determined task under appropriate activities and stages or other summary standards. Connect the appropriate product and milestones and specific tasks. Connections all needs to rely on associated tasks. Add resource roles or resource names to each task. Application metrics determine the prior task workload, which uses more time for demand collection, design, and test. Consider all known holidays, training, vacation or other resource downtime. The draft plan will be reviewed with support groups, management and business users, as complementable inputs and final approvals.
Question 10: How to determine the needs?
Answer 10: The planned development is not considered. Adding roles such as data model making, business analysts, and users next to the task. Plus the resource that can overlap the task overlapping the task. In planning to consider development teams including support teams and user representatives lose one or more resources
The situation is to increase by 15% over each task. To make the composition of the project team easy to understand, there must be an explanation of the technical level necessary for roles.
Question 11: What is the value of the measurement standard?
Answer 11: If you use it, the measurement standard is a valuable tool. They provide methods of determining the complexity and workload of the development system. The measurement results provide information input resources for the development project plan, and is a valuable historical information that determines the development direction. Software measurement standards will help
Develop better software. However, it is best to have a history of 3 years.
Question 12: How do you use new technologies in the plan?
Answer 12: To increase the workload while increasing training tasks, narrowing each working unit. Additional prototypes and checkpoints (milestones) are added in the process of evaluating new technologies in development.

Personnel management skills
Question 13: What is the first thing you have to do as a project manager?
Answer 13: In addition to paying attention to the company's development direction and discovers its own development path, it is necessary to establish a priority of the project manager (business, company, project, team, personal, technical and methodological changes) in his mind. Therefore, the sectoral manager will meet the priority order, arrange
Household and staff meetings to get status reports and evaluations of all members. It is important to handle business, projects and individuals.
Question 14: How will your staff reduce 30% Do you start to complete the company's project?
Answer 14: First, determine and distinguish the priority of the project, which projects must be completed within 18 months. Connect the absolute minimum total number with each project. Influence the impact on the progress table to managers and users. Because both may not be willing to accept changes in progress tables,
This may give you some exceptions.
It is good to lose the consultant than to remove an employee. Consultants for each project may be replaced by employees. Adhere to the use of learning curve theory and gradually reduce the number of consultants. You can reduce the work of some consultants from a week to 2 or 3 days in a week.
If the company has a list of retired ambitions in advance, look for some qualified and applicable employees. Keep in keeping in losing "old people" you may lose valuable knowledge. Combine a fast retired person and novice as much as possible.

A person is often late, people will feel that leaders are in private and will affect the team's morale. This person may be able to complete your own task on time.
May affect the progress of others. Professional features include reliability. If the progress of others depends on their work schedule, then their progress is important for the entire team.
First, it is first judged the mode of these employees. In other words, it is occasionally. Second, clarify the company's relevant counseling policies to determine late arrivals and their related processing methods. It is important to understand whether the employee works with the progress and understands that the person working with him is late to respond. Finally, must
They conduct objective conversations, the topics of the conversation include:
Company rules and regulations
Influence of team
Impact on individual evaluation
Emphasize time progress
Understanding
Question 20: How will you encounter when cost reduction?
Answer 20: Money is not only an incentive factor. People need to know if they have positive contributions to the project. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize the pride and hold business meetings, let users talk about their good impression on the project team. At the same time, let users put forward a generalization of their features and services.
. Training is an incentive factor. Therefore, the situation can be used as an informal training course. Internal seminars related to new technologies were hosted in disordered. If the training course is too expensive, a technical video tape can be leased. Subscribe to the magazine, there are many technical magazines for free. It is necessary to remember that

For example, when everyone encounters problems, this person will be found. Then, this person's work will often be interrupted countless times.
an examination:
Typical activities: Targeting target costs, development, visible / invisible benefits for three to six months after delivery.
Typical delivery: implement summary report.
Question 34: What should the prototype should be in the stage of the project lifecycle?
Answer 34: Throughout the entire project. seeing is believing. Because it is a good tool for verifying functions, business rules, user needs data, and testing. It is worth noting that the prototype will not be a product of crude abuse. The prototype needs to be better maintained. The prototype should be displayed in the case of incomplete process and data.
Navigation relationship between individual windows and windows.
Question 35: What is the difference between the development of client / server-based development and mainmat-based machine development in the project life cycle?
Answer 35: The project based on the client / server-side project requires additional tasks to prepare a plan. Each plan must include an inspection of events, data, and network locations. The distribution of the server / client must be determined according to the requirements of the user. In the server / client environment, use
Appearance Modeling Technology and Prototype and Method for Producing Graphical Interfaces.
Question 36: How to manage and ensure quality in a maintenance project?
Answer 36: Maintenance itself contains negative significance. Many companies think that maintenance work is not good, second. Take money and is constantly modified to existing applications. It must be understood that there is also its life cycle. Therefore, a plan to surround control and quality work around the maintenance activities should be established. new
The development plan includes delivery of the product and each task assignment. The project plan should take into account the needs of demand. This allows the project manager and the user to see the impact of the progress of the project.
Maintenance phase / activity is:
The determination of the change (whether the product problem will result in product problems, or change the technical platform)
Formal record change,
Change confirmation and initial estimation of the size of the change,
Prioritize existing changes,
Change analysis,
Program the change,
System / regression testing for changes and changes to the system
User confirmation, product submission,
produce.
Question 37: Object-Oriented Development and Traditional Development Method Different from management technology?
Answer 37: There are fewer personnel-oriented project team members, and team members don't need too much creativity. Important is the role of technology and individual. Each member needs to assume different roles at different stages of the project. Therefore, each member must understand their own advantages and disadvantages. Role around one or more people
Have:
