Software engineering and architectural projects are usually comparable, and it is indeed similar to that. But think about it, there is a big difference between them. Software engineering and construction projects can be said to be an artistic creation, but the biggest difference between them I think that after the artistic creation factors of construction projects, the task of building construction workers is not broken. The drawings are executed and there is no room for creation. The artistic creation of software engineering is always consistent. Even after detailed design, how to make the program make a simple and efficient aspects of the program, it is necessary to make the programmer to play their intelligence. A function interface is defined, after the function is determined, how to implement different people's writings can write a completely different program.
Therefore, the relationship between project managers and programmers I believe that different relationships between architectural designers and construction workers are more like a band command and band actor relationship. The task commanded by the band is to master the rhythm and lead everyone's step forward. He is not necessarily to pull the princes, and will pull the violin, and will blow small drums again. The project manager is the case, he does not necessarily want Java, will .NET, and master the database, his task is to grasp the main line of our customers, manage the progress and quality, and coordinate people within the group. And the programmer, not just like a construction worker, only simple base bricks, they should play beautiful music as the commander (project manager), as the leader of the band (the beautiful procedure) ).
