The project execution process was strongly intervened by the leadership, which led to difficult communication, the scope, schedule and cost of the project could not be followed up according to the plan, and finally the project could not be completed on time, the project manager was forced to take responsibility, and the front-line colleagues also faced great distress and distress.
Faced with this situation, how to solve it?
Wonderful review
@张同学
When faced with a similar situation, the leader will even push aside some other more important things to intervene in the details of the project. The root cause lies in leadership"I don't know the bottom of my heart"For the success or failure of the construction of the project, the leadership hopes that"You can only succeed, not fail"。To solve this problem, the following can be taken:
1. Confirm and explain in detail the prototype of the system requirements document to the leader, so that the leader can understand the construction results of the project, and let the leader"I have a bottom in my heart"。
2. Formulate project progress milestones and detailed plans, so that leaders can understand the planning of the project, so that leaders"I have a bottom in my heart"。
3. Launch a version every week and report to the leader on Friday to demonstrate the development results of the week, so that the leader can see the specific progress.
Through the above solutions, it can help leaders have a clearer understanding of the project, and at the same time reduce their excessive intervention in the details of the project, so that the project can run more smoothly.

In terms of the degree of intervention, it can be divided into general intervention and severe intervention.
For general intervention, first of all, it is necessary to clarify why the intervention is needed, if it is because your work is not good enough, then in the intervention process, you should accept reasonable suggestions, and give reasons and solutions, so as to achieve a win-win situation for both parties. In short, keep a calm and stable mind in the process, and don't be impatient and flustered.
For serious interventions, if they have reached this level, they should be consulted with the leader to understand the specific causes, and make it clear that such an intervention will prevent them from moving the project forward effectively, and also remind the leader of the work pressure and hard work of front-line employees. In order to solve the problem, why not think of a better solution together?As the saying goes, "Narrow-mindedness is the source of trouble, but open-mindedness is the gateway to happiness." ”

As one of the key stakeholders in the organization, we need to understand the purpose of the leader's approach and be clear about how to communicate with him. To put it simply, it is to be good at building a good relationship with the leader to avoid causing unnecessary troubles or disputes.
@马同学
First of all, this project is very important to him, as a project manager, he should take the initiative to report the progress and performance of the project to his superiors, and take the initiative to listen to the opinions of the leaders.
Secondly, if the leader raises some problems during the implementation of the project, which affects the progress of the project, the democratic decision-making method can be used to conduct collective voting, and the principle of minority obeying the majority can better solve the problem.
Finally, if democratic decision-making does not solve the problem, he can enlist the support of the leader's leadership. This means that he can seek support and help from higher-level leaders to resolve difficulties encountered in the project.
@韩同学
If the leader and the team can effectively communicate and solve the problems that arise in the project (such as scope, schedule, cost out of plan), the following actions can be taken.
First, the project manager should clearly explain to the leader the differences between the actual project scope, schedule, and cost and the plan, such as the specifics of scope expansion, schedule delays, and cost increases. Visualizations such as making ** can make leaders aware of the serious impact of their decisions on the project, so that they can realize their mistakes.
The next step is to come up with a solution. For example, for expanding scope, you can weed out irrelevant content and postpone more difficult tasks until a later stage;For schedule delays, you can consider extending the construction period and increasing resource input (such as increasing manpower, overtime, purchasing third-party finished products, or outsourcing);For cost increases, cost control measures can be taken, such as refining manpower investment plans, improving the productivity of personnel, and gradually approaching the goal through iterative methods. In fact, when the scope is controlled, the cost naturally goes down.
In addition, the best way to boost morale in the short term is to increase wages, especially in the IT industry, which can also consider providing incentives such as overtime pay. However, if you want to maintain the morale of your team in the long term, you also need to give your team members enough respect and a sense of team pride.
@赵同学
A reasonable leader will not mess with you, and when you meet a leader who messes around, it explains:
First: he doesn't understand the relevant technology;
Second, he doesn't understand the current business;
Third, he doesn't understand the current situation.
Everything is simple for such a leader. Give people, recruit people, simple. It's too late, it's easy, it's overtime. In the end, if you ask for money, it's simple, but no.
Q: What should I do if I encounter this situation?
