Mentoring

在專案分析時,通常都會先思考專案的願景,針對這個專案客戶期待的是什麼?廠商本身能提供些什麼?講一句白話,就是大餅在哪,牛肉在哪?有了切實際的願景後,大家彼此都會有個目標往前進.
這一陣子一直在和老板溝通,究竟部門的願景是什麼?公司的願景又是什麼?我們是間小公司,很多事會隨著老板的用心經營時間與拚勁而起伏,老板如果得過且安,通常員工也不太會有什麼積極的作為,所以,我自已這一陣子的溝通,覺得有點費心費力,倒也不是說自已多麼行,而是覺得在相對一個大巨輪下,想用自己這麼一個小齒輸去推動些什麼,總覺有點白費力.
今天在the data farm看到該公司的其中一項定位, Mentoring 覺得就是自已一直想向老板表達的意念,當然工具不僅僅限於.Net,這是一種經驗的傳承,而不是花個錢去上個課就能取得的.
If your company is just getting started with .NET development, you'll find there is a lot of catching up to do. Many companies have found it is extremely helpful and cost effective to have a .NET expert available to help with architecting applications properly for .NET, do code reviews, lend advice or be available when someone just gets stuck on a problem. This type of mentoring can be done on-site, over the phone, through emails or even via a Live Meeting. Julia has been mentoring some very experienced development companies that are moving into .NET development. It is a great form of collaboration.
