being a project manager, the most critical skill is problem solving. not only the problem musty be solved flawlessly, we must solve it on schedule in order to not deejay the whole project.
one day, my project was hit by a critical issue just before the project its about to launch. i immediately called for emergency meeting and announce an all hands down situation. which means no matter you have ajob on hand, you must attend the meeting. when officer in charge from all departments attend, the meeting delivers faster. firstly iaddress the issue and how did it happen. after the description, everyone give their view on what cold possibly went wrong. as time is not on our side, we recognise the few most possible caused, green dedicate afew unit to start investigating. these units are called to dismiss and start working immediately. the rest of us how ever continue to discuss contingency plan. we understand our current problem is the need to launch the project, so isuggest that each unit proppose the major items to be proceed with launching first, and to find out the rest if they ate depending on the unsolved issue. once we recognize the item to be launched, the launching proceed.
that day, the project has took us 3phase to complete the launching, and everyone work extra mile until mid night. but fortunately, everything went well and the product is successfully implemented before the next day.
