Solitary column> People Management (on)
Suppose you are the company's high-level supervisor, in order to reduce the cost of this season, let the profit and loss table look good, so that you can make your hands high stock option more money. So you have implemented a fee-deduced plan. The goal is of course aiming at the maximum salary cost. After your wise decision, I decided to cut 25%. This plan is out, but the corpse is in the wild, not only the employee salary costs fall by 25%, but many employees have sent a resignation. As a result, the cost of cut is of course great results. At this time, the project manager Bruce ran to your room. Bruce: What should I do? I have the best five good hands under my hand, Berd, Qi Sen, O'Neill, Malone, resigned with Jonden, this way, our delay super long mine project will once again delay. What should I do if I have a whole world? Answer the test "A. what?" The five tigers will go all over, and the company is over, I have to resign. People, this person lacks positive positive working attitude. Only the grassroots staff can only be completely seen on the organizer or on the organization. Answer "B. It seems that I am wrong. This measure has some bad marginal effects. But this is the fault that each supervisor will make. The person is suitable for the Millennium of Hong Kong, to the Hollywood, the big star; or as the president of the US, find a female intern to annealed. Basically, this kind of person is good in the market, not suitable for the company. Answer "C. I will find someone else to solve these problems, and I will try to talk about these people first and advise them to stay. The person is suitable for Project Leader (not Manager 喔), these people will be willing to take less salary, hang a very stunt, you can sell the company for the company. It is necessary to try to use employees. Only answering the standard answer "D. I know you have a lot of problems, but have you have any backup plan? People who are eligible to serve as the company's high-level supervisor. Only masters in the master, the Lord of the main will not be angrily, and the problems he created, not revealing any traces, and push it on the body. Therefore, the project manager should plan Backup Plan: * Company may have committed suicide attacks by terrorist drivers, so that all the project team members are all dereal. And all Source Codes have been blown up with the building, there is no backup. Please ask the project manager to catch up with the original progress within 72 hours. * There are three monsters that are to invade the Earth, but the enemy Tiekin's driving, Mr. Ke Guolong has accepted the preparation plan, so it will not continue to work in the cartoon film. Therefore, there is only the left left to defense the Atomic Edition Institute. But Miss Mulan, Miss Shapes, today, because of the physiological period, so she invited the fake. For the love of the universe and justice and peace, please think about how to defend three fierce monsters with the magnolia missiles in the chest in the chest without driving to defend the safety of the whole earth. Ok, experienced people know that no one will do this BACKUP PLAN that all members are killed. How hard is this? Most of the Plan is built on some people who are willing to stay. If you want to have a long time to grow, how to let talents are willing to stay, it will be very important. Project is half, if there is a key figure to leave, the remaining people will usually start a unforgettable journey. Of course, this is the assumption that these people are willing to continue to stay. People who have done the project know that any member, if you leave when you do half, take your hand even if you spend the strength, you will not be able to finish your things in the original time.
If this is the case, how to do people, let the people can put in the appropriate position and willing to stay, should be the most important task of the high-end supervisor. (Author Note: Later I thought I thought about it, leading the company to the right direction, may be more important than this matter.) However, for most companies, People Management is very weak. I can't find a suitable person, I found someone to wait until the high flow rate seems to be the industry's normal. Under the stow of excellent talents, take care of how to make these outstanding talents to make these outstanding people, it should be a very important thing. However, for most companies, in the management, doing wrong things are much longer than doing. So I want to talk about this chapter I observed that most companies are some of the common problems. ** The larger the pressure, the higher the productivity ** For many supervisors, the pressure is proportional to productivity. The larger the pressure, the higher the productivity, which is the same as the more powerful shot, the higher the ball, the higher it will rebound. Of course, people who have better logic skills immediately discover, put two-piece winds and cows, and pull together simulations, this requires very small brain capacity. It's better for most supervisors, this is not a problem. In STATUS REVIEW Meeting, a whole development team, we heard such a conversation. Gina: Bruce, I can see from your Status Report, you intend to post the day of the line to postpone two months. But I look at your Team. I will go at all from get off work. From their time card, there is no one overtime. Do you have to give them a little pressure? Bruce: The entire Project Team has been driven by the previous period of time, and now the morale is already very low. I don't want to give them pressure at this time. Gina: Joanna (the customer department supervisor) has already called me, they intend to accompany you to work on six days. Also have to help you prepare for dinner at night, but also to prepare your sleeping bag, which makes me have to face this problem. If we all can work with overtime, they must think that our engineers have no discipline. As the saying goes, "there is no credit, there is hard work, no hard work, and fatigue. "If Joana has the proliferation of us, we must respond. Think although it seems that Project's delay is already difficult, but in the face of customers, we can still show our professionalism. Bruce: Ok, I may arrange to stay at night to keep working at night. On the sixth day, I will come up with the number of people ... Gina: The words are not said to say, you still have to give them more stress, put the productive forces. Bruce thinks, not in squeezing milk, if the cattle has no milk, it has been crowded by the cattle. What's more: ... From the above example, it seems that when the management class can't find a better thing to improve productivity, it will tend to put pressure, let the project member endless overtime. In this way, even if it fails, it is very much better than death. This is usually the principles, which will inexplicably apply the main reason for pressure. When we were young, he read an ancient book and read a sentence: "Take the rule, only to in.
"Many supervisors are interpreted about this famous saying. If you set the deadline into a could not complete, even if you don't reach this perfect deadline, it will not be too much late. According to the same inference, as long as I decided to become a thousand Lang, even if I didn't reach the high service level, it was also possible to successfully promote Ten Lang. Engineers like to challenge. If you observe the ecology of the engineer in detail, you will find that you want the engineer to take the initiative to solve a problem, as long as this problem is not soluble, or you have found a lot of masters, everyone is not a little, really Enough is the engineer's person, it will roll up the sleeves and start to work to solve this problem. Because engineers have such strange nature, many supervisors feel that "taking the way" should be very feasible. As long as I declare this deadline is impossible, I will work hard to work hard. This is usually obtained: "If we apply a pressure, for example, set an impossible DEADLINE, so that it can generate an excitation. The greater the pressure, the higher the productivity. About this problem, scientists try to do moderate electric shocks to increase productivity, but they will declare failure after they can not find volunteers who are willing to participate in the experiment. They did an animal experiment without finding human beings. After the electric shock mouse, it will indeed running, but there will be a side effect is that the mouse will die. There are many examples in the history of impressing whether to increase productivity. The more famous example is the Han Xin's backshoot battle, and the soldier strives to fight because they don't want to fall to the river, and the results will win. Many supervisors also believe that this is the way, so it usually creates more obstacles in an environment that has been difficult to have. For example, a very unforgettable project manager is required to lead a project that is already going to be able to go. However, the result is usually unexpected. The most commonly seen result is that employees' resignation is like a large-scale migration of rats. The employee has a crisis awareness, and I found that the seedlings are not right. I will never want to save the company, but I will start writing a resume. So you will find that many supervisors will be muted. How do you have a little compressibility in this year ... Applying pressure usually has a short-term effect, and productivity will rise rapidly. The problem is that if the pressure is sustained, productivity will drop to a stable level. When someone can't stand it, the productivity will begin to fall. When someone can't stand it, the team's productivity will come back.
It has been affected by excessive pressure in the work, so that there is no way to take into account other levels of life. For a long time, employees will definitely leave. Moreover, the pressure is a MIET in a short time, usually requires a long-term price. It will receive the same quality output. What is most often reduced? test. Next? The answer is Detailed Design. The deletion of these processes, usually allow you to complete the Coding in a short time. To handle the program designer, it is very much like a long, it is usually not a matter of things. Meet a Milestone, allowing you to have something like a system to complete Demo for some big head. However, the cost to pay is usually very fierce. It is like a marathon who is running a hundred kilometers. It is only 50 kilometers, and I started to advance the speed of 100 meters. Of course, some people will use this argument to present. If you can keep this speed this speed, why can't you keep such a speed? You should have Discipline. If you can keep this speed, why don't you keep this speed in this km? Why can't you keep this speed? Ok. If you hear this, Deadline will be your true death. Buy yourself first. The price of your project is definitely lower than that of the lottery. ** Digital Management ** Although the number does not lie, it is interpreted that the number of the number is interpreted. So how to quote the correct number, derive an fundamentally unrelated conclusion, is a very deep learning. We are estimating the size of the project, or the most common unit is man-month. It is also a person working hard to do things a month. However, use this number, there will be a lot of bad effects. The first one is to have a monthly moon = inference of productivity. ** Month = productivity ** For many users, if the project progress delay, the most intuitive idea is to add a little person. For them, the writing program is the same as the cover. Most customers don't know how to cover the house. Of course, I don't know how to write the program, but I feel that I will find more people, it will be more faster. Compared with the construction industry, customers usually want to find a few more people, hoping through these people, can accelerate the development of the entire project. For customers, the month is proportional to the production amount. Although the software is a quite new industry, it is probably three or forty years of history. After all, Schedule delay has always been a problem with the software industry. Many scholars have done research and found that people are not necessarily proportional to production. Some people who have read the books will have heard the so-called moon. "Add Manpower to a late suteware project makes it lated" (Author Note: Hered from the Mythical Man-Month. Chapter 2 Page 25) Simple To put it, when Project has delay, the plus hand can solve the problem. There are a few of the main reasons: 1. Newcomes need time to learn to go to hand 2. When the newcomers are in the first place, they will need to guide this system with experience, which will reduce the time to invest in the old man. 3. After the number of people increases, the cost of communication will increase geometric level. 4. Have a child to spend ten months, even if you find ten people, it is impossible for a month to bring your child.
5. The number of people has changed, but now you can do so much, the project manager has to think about the work, let these people have something. This will let the project manager don't focus on what you are doing. 6. If someone is nothing, it will be very afraid that they have been layoffs, they will do something like work. Or do something that offers someone else work. So, there is a supervisor who reads the book (or there have been it is also considered) will know that increasing people only have the project for the person who is super short of people. This is a famous moon. So, it is not possible to advocate increasing people at the beginning ... even if you want to wait until the customer's request will be said. Ok, we can do not add the number of members of the project, but we still have to plan for the project, or how to estimate the Schedule and cost? So it will usually take the time now, may be able to participate in the items of this project, assuming that these people will participate in this project. Then start planning. This problem is coming, and everyone's ability to work is different. So use the people to estimate how workloads overcome the productivity difference caused by this ability? There are two rookies, you should not be the same as both experts. So someone will start quantify everything. For example, Superman's ability is super strong, so he works for a month, there will be ten people's productive forces; but Wenyi is different, she is so bad, work ability is so bad, work a month probably only 0.142857 people's productivity. The conclusion will be: If the Superman has no way to pick this case, we will find ten mortals. You may argue, Superman, this master, absolutely have its own unique foundation and full experience. After all, a genius like Shakespeare, not ten mortals add up, it can be replaced. That's right, but this means that you don't have the essence of management of this art. Gina: Superman, I know you very busy. There is no way to participate in this case. But we have already burned your ass. I thought for a long time, I want to trouble you every day, take out half an hour, and teach these ten mediocrity Programmer. I don't ask them to have half of your skills. You can transfer your anchor to them, as long as they have one tenth of your own skills. I think you spend another time a little more time to point to their maze, you can make it up with the power of ten people to make up for the productivity of you. Superman thinks, how much time I have to spend, can you have some of my people? But what can I still say? The minister did his best to thank the head of the Lord. The most commonly used techniques of the supervisor are to let the superman wandered between the various projects and try to do his way. So long for a long time, there will be an exhausted Zhuge Liang in the universe. The competent is often doing things, like Shakespeare yourself to write, but find ten second-class writers, ask Shakespeare to teach them, and look forward to it after working in division of labor, you can write the same article. Do you think funny? The numbers are not lying. With numbers to represent productivity, the biggest problem is that human productivity is replaced by a number, and there is no consider the personality of the team. Bruce comes with David, but Bruce is not coming with Shangren. The tacit work between people and people, as well as the chemical effects produced by get along and common beliefs, will affect a team's overall performance, which is difficult to quantify with numbers. Another problem is that the moon will be equipped with an equal number. Month = cost For many people who understand accounting, they may have not heard the Mythical Man-Month. However, everyone must receive salary every month, and the employee's house will make more money, the company's household will share less, this is the true facts. Therefore, the moon will be equal to the cost.
Project Human total cost = Project member monthly salary * Salary month has increased human hand, project cost is improved. So unless you increase the number of people to speed up the market, the project cost has a certain straight line soon. Since the development of information, the so-called people have been heard by the supervisor of many information industry, so, they have already developed a set of good countermeasures in practice. This set of countermeasures usually contains the following two steps: * Increase the working hours of work every day * will change non-working day to our business day. The assumption of this strategy is to "increase the working time of the project member, and the effective output that can be produced will also increase. "Use simple words to explain" "If you don't want to kill this bird, you can take the progress to work hard. "Most of Taiwan's software companies will claim to be responsible system, usually accompanied by not very demanding card truck systems. This system is that the company will claim that he doesn't care for a few hours, as long as you do things, you can leave the company, so there will be no overtime pay. Then your boss will give you absolute work. Then you have to finish your things within one day. So working for more than a dozen hours a day is home. Another strategy is that you will find a way to ask you to go overtime. Some supervisors will take a warm offensive, some use high pressure policies. Anyway, it is threatening to lure, and employees must go abut the company. This strategy is for the boss. It is obvious that 1. There is no problem with the increase in communication. Because the fused is the same voter. 2. There is no need to train new people, and there is no time for any old hands being wasted on training. Because there is any free work, you will work for 20 hours a day, even if you have the original half of the past 10 hours, it also has fifteen hours of output. So just force employees overtime, the number of spendhes should be reduced, so the cost can be reduced. This approach is not different from killing chickens, but it usually waits until the big name in the big name. It has been born with the work, so there will be someone to touch the head. To don't work too hard. After all, in the software company, most people's true value will only appear when he puts forward the application. As long as you don't want to go, you won't be a headache ISSUE. Of course, someone will not think from overtime pay, and will inject from another level: If we can develop cheap personnel to reduce the development of funds. Gina: Bruce, I heard that the salary of the mainland probably only one-fifth of Taiwan. CEO has indicated that our project should be all Outsource to the mainland in the future. This will reduce our development costs ... there are a lot of disadvantages, even if the internet is very developed, many things are not in the same office, and everyone is different from the views of the work. It is a difficult gap. However, most people only see the cost of inexpensive workers everywhere, and the cost of land development will often be severely underestimated. Developing software needs very close communication. It may be costly to take a lot of intangible things. On the surface, it seems that the company will make money, but in addition to tangible staff travel to another country, the time and expenses of traveling, spending the time and funding of each other, flowering in the same development test environment Energy, these people who are sent to differently business trips may not be able to have a long-distance truck, or the development time is developed in different places because of several times the time ... these bad effects often have been ignored. . Another negative effect is less mentioned.
