My Projects
I have new projects this week.
More than five “projects” were waiting for me when I came to the office on Monday. For those who learned project management, I have to say that the definition of the project is a bit different here. All independent work units with a deliverable are called “project” in my company. Anyway, I found those new “projects” in the project management system. And that system is a part of the Web application that I am working on. This means that I am working on the system that I am using. I am a programmer and a user at the same time.
The goal of one project is to add a new page to that application. This is challenging because I have no idea about how. But adding a brand new function is exciting. I am willing to learn how I can do that. The goal of other project I am now working is to add codes to the core part of the application. The amount of change is small, but such change will remain after I leave the company. This is great.
The CEO gives me helps every day. Indeed, if it comes to the amount of time spent with the CEO, I am the No.1. I feel happy to work with him everyday. But this fact is ironical. He has no choice but help me because my skill is not enough to accomplish the project. In fact, I cannot move forward by myself for now. Of course, I know that my mission here is to help him, not be helped by him. I am wondering how I can acquire the skill needed as soon as possible.
