What it takes be an Ittecan. 3
Some of you might not know, but here at Itteco we do our work applying Project machine principles. In theory, project machine is a certain structure of people, communication methods and collaboration between team members, who are ready to solve project tasks and problems in a stand-alone mode and on their own, without nagging control of the manager.
Project machine is not a methodology, like agile or SCRUM, it doesn’t cover the risk management process, requirements gathering, bug-fixing, analysis, QA, defining complexity or priorities. Project machine is rather an organizational layer on top of any methodology.
Manager has a significantly different role in the project machine approach. He is not a lead developer – he is the person responsible for continuous process flow with no glitches and stops.
Project machine defines and shapes team members, who should possess certain qualities:
- self-contained developers, who are apt in flying solo;
- talkative and sociable team workers;
- result oriented and motivated individuals;
- perpetually polishing their skills and learning something new;
- possessing the same sharing passion.
