Sunday, May 29.

It's time to learn failed experiences once a month.

In fact, relatively speaking, Pei Qian's expectations for Qiu Hong's courses are stronger than that for He An's courses.

After all, the latter still has to turn and operate in reverse before it can be used. No one knows whether the reverse operation will work; while the former can be directly based on the experience of failure.

However, in the last course, Pei Qian did not feel any gains, but was instead attracted by Qiu Hong as his confidant.

This is very painful.

Qiu Hong talked about the failure caused by project management problems for a long time, and it was very correct, but Pei Qian couldn't use it at all!

I can only look forward to talking about some truly useful failed experiences today.

Qiu Hong came to the cafe on time and shook hands cordially with "Ma Yang".

"Mr. Ma! How about it? Has the company's project management improved this month?"

Pei Qian: "…"

Still progressing?

If we make progress, we will lose all our lives!

Pei Qian coughed lightly: "I benefited a lot from the last course, but time is limited, so let's hurry up and get to the topic."

Qiu Hong nodded: "Yes, yes, hurry up and get to the point."

The two of them sat down and the waiter served coffee.

Qiu Hong took a sip of coffee and said, "Mr. Ma, what I want to talk about today is also a very critical failure factor. Among all game startups, there are definitely many teams that failed due to this factor!"

When Pei Qian heard this, he became energetic in an instant.

Such a universal experience of failure?

Then I have to listen carefully!

Qiu Hong deliberately kept a secret, paused before saying, "This failure factor is... the random intervention of the boss or other external forces!"

Pei Qian: "?"

Qiu Hong did not notice that "Ma Yang" was confused. He had completely fallen into the previous state of heart-wrenching confiding: "This one is all about tears."

"Most people in the game industry have a relatively simple dream before entering the industry, which is to make some fun things for players. Even if they make a krypton gold game for big dogs to spend some money? As long as they are happy, we will not be in vain."

"But this society is not that simple, because games are not something that a person can do. To go to work, you have to face various office politics, take sides, and get along well with others. Otherwise, you can't get resources and no matter how good the project is, you can't do it."

"When you are doing execution planning, you have to listen to the functional planning, right? When you are doing function planning, you have to listen to the master's planning, right? When you finally become the master's planning, you have to listen to the producer, right? If you become the producer yourself, you have to listen to the investors, right?"

"If you really become an investor, you still have to listen to the market and the money, because you are reluctant to let your money go away!"

"Look, you do have ideas, but you can't guarantee that the person who can command you will be consistent with your ideas!"

"This thing is just external intervention. Think about it, a good idea, go to the producer to change it, the boss to change it, and finally go to the investor to change it, and when it is about to be released, the channel dealer asks you to change it... After all the changes, you can't recognize what this thing is."

Pei Qian listened silently, with a confused expression.

It sounds like a very beautiful prospect.

I really want someone to help me point fingers and make the project abolish...

However, no one above Mr. Pei pointed out, he had the final say.

Even Mr. Pei often points fingers at his subordinates.

But the problem is that after I have been pointing fingers for a long time, the game has not been ruined either?

On the contrary, the more you give guidance, the more successful you are. Where can you reason about this?

Could it be that I was wrong in pointing fingers?

Pei Qian coughed lightly: "Well, I have a problem. Mr. Qiu said, "The boss's fingers lead to the failure of the project." Can you tell me how to point fingers in detail?"

Qiu Hong looked surprised: "Mr. Ma, do you still need to explain this? You can think of it by just a little diverting your mind!"

"For example, even though you know what game is now popular, the boss insists on doing the opposite; even if you know what the player tastes, the boss insists on fighting against the player; if there is no design plan on the market, the boss slapped his forehead and insisted on you to do one..."

Pei Qian fell into silence again.

It sounds like, isn't this what I've been doing?

Then my idea of ​​losing money seems to be OK?

Why did it end up being completely different?

No, this is useless, it is a method I have tried. I have to let Qiu Hong stop and stop talking about it.

Pei Qian felt that he could no longer waste his precious time on this topic, so he hurriedly said, "Well, I fully understand. This article is indeed very likely to lead to failure! But this experience is not very useful for me. Can we change it?"

Qiu Hong was stunned for a moment: "Isn't it useful? Mr. Ma, you should mean that you won't encounter such a problem, right?"

"Well, indeed, Mr. Ma, your immediate boss is Mr. Pei. Mr. Pei himself is a top game producer. You don't have the possibility of failure caused by your boss' guidance."

"It's okay, Mr. Ma, I've already taken this into consideration, so this is an appetizer, and I've prepared something else later."

Pei Qian is very happy.

That's great, I almost thought this class was wasted again!

Qiu Hong continued: "Then, the next very critical failure factor is that you cannot discover the talents you want! Mr. Ma, you should be able to use this point, right?"

Pei Qian deeply agreed: "Well, I am really very upset about this!"

Qiu Hong smiled slightly and continued to say, "A boss must not take on all kinds of jobs. In that case, he will definitely be as tired as a dog and cannot do it well. At this time, you need to find a person in charge for your various businesses."

"This is still different from project management. How does project management use talents, and what we are talking about now is how to discover talents! Relatively speaking, it is still a bit higher-end to discover talents."

"The reason why many failed projects fail is because the leader's poor vision of people is deceived by some boastful scammers and entrusted him with important tasks, but he has no practical ability at all."

Pei Qian nodded violently: "So, where are these scammers?"

Qiu Hong didn't know how to answer for a moment: "Uh...hidden in the vast sea of ​​people."

Pei Qian asked: "Theoretically, the base of scammers should be quite large, right?"

Qiu Hong thought for a while: "Who knows, no one has done a data survey in this regard. But I think it should be OK. Most people will always encounter one or two scammers when starting a business, right?"

Pei Qian was speechless.

That means I'm not lucky?

Still no, this one still doesn't seem to be useful. After all, I really don't have much talent in identifying scammers, so Zhang Wang is the best case.

Pei Qian coughed lightly: "That, Mr. Qiu, this doesn't seem to help me..."

Qiu Hong was stunned for a moment: "Uh... it doesn't matter, Mr. Ma, I'll change another one."

"I don't have much success experience, but I have failed experience!"

Pei Qian: "…"

What's going on inexplicably feel a sense of mutual appreciation?

Qiu Hong thought for a while: "Then I will talk about the concept of 'common sense deviation' next!"

Pei Qian nodded, feeling that this theory seemed very noble and would be helpful to him!

Qiu Hong explained: "In the game company, we often hear words like "The boss is just a sb, he doesn't know anything, he doesn't do it anymore, or "the newly recruited planner is too stupid and has been fired by me."

"This kind of conversation happens in many game companies, and even the tone is very similar. So, why do people in the game circle always feel that each other doesn't understand anything?"

"A experienced master planner and a producer who can attract investment should be both insiders. They both say that the other party "doesn't understand anything". Who doesn't understand?"

"This is the 'common sense bias', that is, everyone's common sense is different. You and I are considering the same thing, but what I think is common sense is not the same thing at all, so we all feel that each other doesn't understand at all."

"For example, the 'copy game' is a verified successful experience for capital or bosses. Why not do it? And for most practitioners, what is the future of others who have already made bad things?"

"Of course, this is just a very simple example. In actual work, this 'common sense deviation' will be more serious, and it will have an impact on all aspects of the company's operations during the game production process, ultimately making the development of the project completely deviate from the initial expectations."

Pei Qian blinked blankly.

Isn’t this what I’m experiencing?

A confidant!

Pei Qian grabbed Qiu Hong's hand: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, that's what I feel! I'm very upset about it!"

"So, how should this 'common sense bias' be solved?"

Qiu Hong smiled: "Well, this is simple to say, but difficult to do. It is to establish good communication between each other."

"The root of 'common sense deviation' is that each other cannot understand each other. As long as you can communicate well, let the other party understand their true thoughts, and form a joint force in the same direction in your thoughts, then the problem of 'common sense deviation' can be solved to a certain extent."

Pei Qian: "…"

The enthusiasm was extinguished again.

Why is it another solution that I can't do at all!

Do a good job of communication and let the other party understand their true thoughts? I think too, the problem is that the system does not allow it!

I can't let others know that I'm deliberately losing money!
