The project was successful, and the project manager was the greatest contributor?

The first few years I worked , I look down on the project manager , I think they are supervisors , No code , Every day is a man month , Make a good schedule , Assign tasks to programmers , A weekly meeting , From time to time , Send a report , Some will also draw a beautiful Gantt chart to pretend , besides , What else can I do ？

What's more irritating , The project has been successfully implemented , They are the greatest heroes , Be praised by leaders , This lets us all these days and code /Bug How can a struggling programmer be embarrassed ？

After working for more than two years , The manager saw that I had accumulated a lot of experience , I was asked to be a part-time project manager . 

When I first took office, I was full of self-confidence , I'm good at it , Communicate with programmers without obstacles , It can also solve technical problems , Afraid of what ？

But it would be foolish to start project management .

The first problem is to strive for resources , Our project needs a pair of WebSphere Someone you know very well , I want to get such a person into our group , But the coordination ability is not enough , It took a lot of effort to convince the leaders , Only agreed to give us 30% Time for , It would be too much trouble to cooperate . 

And docking with the brother group , They think there is a module that we can do properly , I think they should do the right thing , That's it , The scope is uncertain , The time for completion is not fixed , I'm tired to death . 

It's also painful to divide tasks , Who will be assigned the task ？ What is his ability ？ Can he finish it on time ？ Under a series of questions , Made some wrong decisions , For example, I put too much pressure on people with strong abilities , Too busy . 

There was a dispute between the team members over the use of a certain technology , I found that I would not adjust contradictions , I am even more embarrassed to criticize the team members , When the team members do a good job , Also just silently praise in my heart , Forget praise and encouragement in public .

All in all , The project is like a broken carriage walking on the muddy road , Finally, it can be completed on time miraculously , It's all up to me and some core members to work overtime crazily .

That's when I realized , Project management is not a simple thing .

Software is different from the production of general goods , It can't see 、 Unable to touch , Time is more important 、 Range 、 cost 、 quality 、 speed of progress 、 risk …… Good planning skills are required 、 The coordinated ability 、 communication skills .

therefore , It can become a subject , There is a complete set of knowledge system and tools 、 Method .

Then I went to IBM Work , Discover three paths for programmers .

1. Architects

2. IT Experts , To a certain field , Such as security , Database is especially proficient in

3. project manager

Each project here is equipped with a full-time project manager , And special requirements ： Must pass PMP The test ！

In fact, it is not just the project manager who needs PMP authentication , stay IBM Be an architect , It also requires strong project management ability , So many people took the exam PMP.

The company will also encourage employees to obtain this certification , Enhance personal competitiveness .

get PMP certificate , Contribute to internal promotion , It is the main evaluation item of enterprise talent echelon construction , In some important bidding, there are PMP Certificates are also important plus items .

however , These are the results , For programmers , More to the point ： 

1. Completely change the view of project management , Put yourself on a higher level , Re understand the software development process .

2. Learn advanced project management concepts , Master the scope 、 Time 、 The method of accomplishing goals under cost constraints .

3. Master the advanced way of thinking to solve problems .
