These practices, when followed, tend to lead - -4 -00:00:09,230 --> 00:00:13,245 -to predictably bad results. So let's look at some examples of - -5 -00:00:13,245 --> 00:00:17,130 -these classic mistakes. And we're going to start with mistakes - -6 -00:00:17,130 --> 00:00:20,660 -involving people. And notice that there is a long list. So - -7 -00:00:20,660 --> 00:00:23,100 -I'm going to discuss just a few of those mistakes. - -8 -00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:25,215 -And I'm going to point you to more information on this - -9 -00:00:25,215 --> 00:00:27,550 -topic in the class notes. And some of these mistakes are - -10 -00:00:27,550 --> 00:00:30,020 -actually kind of entertaining. So I'll recommend that you look at - -11 -00:00:30,020 --> 00:00:33,210 -the class notes and go in more depth in this list. - -12 -00:00:33,210 --> 00:00:35,550 -So the first people mistake I want to mention is the - -13 -00:00:35,550 --> 00:00:38,945 -one that I define, heroics. And this refers to too much - -14 -00:00:38,945 --> 00:00:43,480 -emphasis on can do attitudes, so this idea that one person - -15 -00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:46,330 -by himself or by herself can do everything and can make - -16 -00:00:46,330 --> 00:00:50,422 -the difference in the whole project. And unfortunately, this encourages extreme - -17 -00:00:50,422 --> 00:00:53,950 -risk taking and discourages cooperation, which is plain bad for - -18 -00:00:53,950 --> 00:00:56,610 -the project. For example, it might force people not to - -19 -00:00:56,610 --> 00:00:59,600 -report schedule slips. It might force people to take on - -20 -00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,210 -on too much responsibility. And normally, and I saw it - -21 -00:01:02,210 --> 00:01:05,600 -happen many times, the final result is a failure. So - -22 -00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,410 -what you want when you're developing a larger project, is - -23 -00:01:08,410 --> 00:01:11,710 -actually to apply soft engineering principles. Have teams, have team - -24 -00:01:11,710 --> 00:01:15,580 -work, and have cooperation among the different team members, without pointing - -25 -00:01:15,580 --> 00:01:18,830 -too much on single individuals. Another classic mistake - -26 -00:01:18,830 --> 00:01:22,140 -is to not create the right working environment. We - -27 -00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:24,900 -all like to work in nice environments. And there - -28 -00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:27,790 -is strong evidence that the working environments can play - -29 -00:01:27,790 --> 00:01:30,670 -a big role in productivity. There is evidence - -30 -00:01:30,670 --> 00:01:34,280 -that productivity increases when the workplace is nice, quiet, - -31 -00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,950 -warm, and welcoming. Finally, some of the most important - -32 -00:01:37,950 --> 00:01:41,480 -people relating mistakes are due to poor people management. - -33 -00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,540 -For example, lack of leaderships, or leadership that is - -34 -00:01:44,540 --> 00:01:47,920 -exercised using the wrong means in the wrong way, which - -35 -00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,280 -can lead to very unhappy personnel and therefore, low - -36 -00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,190 -productivity, or even people leaving teams. Another classic example of - -37 -00:01:54,190 --> 00:01:57,370 -poor management is adding people to a project that - -38 -00:01:57,370 --> 00:02:01,600 -is behind schedule, which never works. Why it doesn't work? - -39 -00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,440 -Because these new people need to be brought up to - -40 -00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,520 -speed, and that causes further delays rather than improving the - -41 -00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,280 -situation with the project schedule. |
