成功感覺
自2007年中, 接替了一個 project 的 lead 的位置, 工作上的範疇和壓力便有了很大改變。 那個 project 的目的, 是要完成一個全新的 design software, 組員有5個: 兩個印度, 一個蘇聯, 一個台灣, 一個澳門。 5條友分別隸屬三個經理: 一個印度, 一個中東, 一個香港, 情況夠晒混亂。 而小弟的責任有三個。 1. 每週開兩次會, 由我帶, 和寫 meeting minutes, 個別經理們會坐在旁聽。 2. 策劃 project 的 phases, 和同組員傾掂數分配工作。 3. 是經理最關心的, 每一個 phase, 幾時交貸, 交什麼貨, 由小弟負責。
這年多裡, 因為這個 project, 經歷了不少東西, 唔開心的居多。 試過和另一組的 lead 開會時扯火鬧大交 (Felix, 你以前老細, 唔易搞)。 也試過畀自己老細關埋房門駡足半粒鍾。 不過衰嘢唔好講咁多, 自己都學到唔少嘢的; 由於代表全組, 經常要和上級溝通, 而咬文嚼字便成了小弟強項。 例如, 1. have problem -> have room to improve. 2. can’t meet deadline -> we are commit to deliver by this date (actually a week later, but don’t say it). 3. can’t implement a feature -> hold up the feature due to strategy reason. 呢D嘢真係假到爆, 不過唔咁寫又不利全組。 點都好, 呢個 project 近幾個月到達高潮, 因為二月一日是最後一個 phase 的 deadline, 全組人都在趕貸。
Deadline 前兩日, check 埋最後一個 bug, 完成埋最後一個 data report, 我覺得應該掂啦。 深呼吸一口氣, 寄出一封 Email 畀經理們和組員, 大意為: 「 The project is completed. I declare the tool is ready! Congratulation to the team!! 」 跟住連埋一些 data, 吹吓個 tool 點樣架勢之類。 咁其實我呢段話說得好死, 只要其中一個經理覺得唔妥, 公開 challenge 我一句, 我便有排煩。
好啦, 我坐在電腦面前等回應。 總於收到第一個經理的回覆, 之後是第二個, 第三個, 都是祝賀和讚美的說話。 一時間, 有點衝昏頭腦的感覺, 這一年多的心血沒有白費啊! 今天, director 將這 project 完成的消息向全 department 報告。 這 project 算是成功了, 暫時告一段落, 若有其他問題, 便遲些再煩吧。
congratulations! i wish your project a success! although it reminds me of something when i read your wordings on the email about completion… haaa.
