Points to be remembered during projects.

There is life outside projects....your life and your family. Love your
work but not your project or the company. Many developers after a
certain amount of time become possessive about the project and the
company. Do a professional job but don't end up marrying the project
or the company.

Try to come on time and go on time. So that you do not get saturated
and work on the project for a longer time and effectively. Don't
become a zombie - nobody said on his death bed that he would have
liked to spend more time in the office.

Try to freeze your requirements before the start of the project. In
practical scenarios it is very difficult to control the end customer.
But if you can at least control the changes that will make the project
more comfortable. (But if you can at least control the changes it will
help you manage the project comfortably). The best way to control
changes is by taking official sign offs from the end Customer. As the
saying goes, building quality software and skating on ice are both
easy to do provided requirements are frozen.

Do not try to be a hero in the project. Because heroes also have to go
through all the hardships. So believe in distributing the load equally
which is not only good for the project but also for you in the long
run. Do not try to be an octopus - unfortunately you were born with
only two hands.

Every project has parasite developers. In short every project has
developers who constantly take help from others thus bringing down
their productivity. Yes it is possible that they are your friends, but
think for a moment - what's smarter, giving a person one fish everyday
from your catch or teaching him how to fish. Step in to help others
when they are stuck but you should know when to step out as well.
There's a thin line between helping somebody cross a tough hurdle and
carrying him on your shoulders - always be aware of this.

If you are a developer avoid doing their work from start to finish.
Yes, give them hints but do not do complete coding for them.If you are
a project manager you should analyze such kind of developers and take
effective action at the very beginning which may even mean removing
the resource from the project. Remember, your team is only as strong
as its weakest link.

Do not make projects your learning ground. Customer's pay heavily for
making software so do not make it a learning ground. In many projects
developers try to implement new technologies in mid of the project
just by hearing jargons.

Test, Test and Test. That's the key to success for any software
project.

Do not hide your defects. Developers are the best guys who know where
the code will crash. Do not hide it, analyze and fix it. Do not cheat
and leave the same till it goes to the end client.

Avoid ego issues during the project. Many times in a project
developers and managers get stuck up with ego issues. Sometimes
stepping back makes the project move further

Tackle bigger problems of the project first. The best way to complete
any project is to start those screens which are used by the customer
more often. For instance every project has non-frequent masters code
them later and start the transaction screens first. Many time
developers end up doing nitty gritty work and forget the bigger part
of the project.

Do not talk about stars. Every project starts with talking about stars
but later ends up somewhere else. Developers talk about concepts of
OOPS, full database normalization, design patterns etc etc. These
fundamentals are important but it should end up with only jargons.
Some times practical deadlines make it impossible to implement these
features. Keep yourself flexible and compromise with quality when you
have deadlines.....believe me it's not a sin if a customer is giving you
unreasonable deadlines.

Maintaining a right project hierarchy is very important i.e. the A
model. In a model you have one senior person at the top, project
manager, team leader, senior developers and then juniors. The right
proportion of people from each grade is important. On any level if you
have too much concentration you will have ego issue and promotion
issues.

Do not treat your project people as a resource. Project managers have
this jargon of thinking of every one as a resource. That's bookish
thinking; any one working in a project is finally a human being with
emotions. The moment you consider them as a resource they will also
consider you as a resource. Moreover the word resource reminds you of
water resources, mineral resources, oil & natural gas resources, etc
which become empty some day - you get the point. In your own interests
wipe off the word from your vocabulary.

Make yourself visible. If you think you have done something good show
it, advertise it, make it visible. It will help you during your
assessment.

Avoid getting into project politics. Peace of mind is the most
important thing. Getting into egos and politics will only complicate
things.

If you are working in a maintenance project upgrade yourself time to
time. Change is the only constant in life - this is painfully true in
the software industry more than anywhere else.

In case you are maintaining some other developers' code do not
criticize the code. Who knows in what circumstances the project was
made .If you are a project manager in the project do not make it a
compulsory rule that you will never touch coding. Remember juniors
respect their seniors only if they sit with them for development and
understand their difficulties. This is a time
tested rule - people only respect leaders who lead from the front
rather than issue orders from the rear - don't be a preacher, let your
actions do the talking.

If any resource is working on a project for more than a year his
performance comes down. Prepare a proper KT plan and bring in new
resources and roll the old resources off for some better prospects.

Avoid unnecessary meetings.
