A Wave of the U.S. Educated Entrepreneurs Returning back to China

九九艳阳天


男声：

九九那个艳阳天哟，
四十岁的哥哥呀
告诉你大太太，
这一去呀越洋又过海呀，
这一去呀三年两载呀不回还。
这一去呀钱如水乐如仙呀！
这一去创业胜利呀再相见！！！


女声：

九九那个艳阳天哟，
四十岁的哥哥呀
细听我大太太，
哪怕你一去呀乐如仙呀。
哪怕你十年八载呀不回还，
只要你不把二奶奶娶呀，
等待你腰緾万贯呀回家转！！！

The Tao of Product Management

There is a customer requirement. A Product Line Manager (PLM, as a fancy name nowadays, was called product planner in a planning organization back to the old time when I worked at BNR) normally would add his or her value by explaining (and mostly interpreting) the requirement to R&D. Until the final release of the product, many R&D levels have been involved with possible miscommunications happened at each level. Let’s see how this new product has been built eventually, step by step … … while the PLM was off hook.

1. Requirement Captured

 

2. Negotiated between Planner & Designers

 

3. Functional Spec & Design (before reviews)

 

4. Functional Spec & Design (after reviews)

 

5. Detail Design

 

6. Implementation (after code inspection)

 

7. Unit Testing (after debugging)

 

8. System Testing (after robustness)

 

What the customer needs !!!

 

[The original idea was taken in the early 90’s from a frustrated software designer at Bell-Northern Research, a former research arm of Northern Telecom.]

Importance

If it is not important to do, it is important not to do.
