Web hosting solutions - Chapter 11: Working with Project People 239 you
Chapter 11: Working with Project People 239 you want to maintain team cohesiveness. You don t want an army of ants, but sometimes you need to force the decision and move on. The following discourse shows you what we mean: Team member 1: Before we go any further, we need to test this part of the software on every Linux platform currently shipping and make sure that there are no issues. Team member 2: We have tested it on three Linux platforms already! Those are the ones that most corporations are using. We ve found no issues, and as long as they are using the same kernel, the software should run the same on every implementation. Team member 1: We can t afford to wait until the project is finished to find that it doesn t work on every version. We need to find and identify the problems now. Team member 2: If we do that with every single module as it is developed, that will slow us down and we ll never make the dates. Project manager: I can understand what you re saying. We can t afford for the final build to not run everywhere, but we are a long way from that. Let s check each module, as it is finished, on three versions and alternate those versions always using two of the most popular ones. That way we stand a good chance of catching issues early on and adapting to them. Now, about the interface. . . . In this discourse, the project manager listens to both parties and respects what they are saying before quickly making a decision and moving on to the next topic. In making that decision, the PM references the key points of both discussions, offers a compromise, and ends the discussion. This is a highly effective strategy in many instances because it addresses both the serious quality assurance issue, as well as the crucial timeline issue while also keeping everyone happy. Relying on expert power One rule of life is that expert opinions have more weight than others. You may not realize it, but you have expert power because you have valuable experience and knowledge to make sound decisions. Consider this discussion: Team member 1: I think we re crazy if we don t stop and check every module on every platform. Unless we are doing that, there is no guarantee that the final product will run without error for every customer.
