I had joined into my first Project which was in an Execution Phase. I had to understand the Test Cases written and execute them and determine the process’s Functionality and Quality in time.
The biggest challenges were:
1. Being new I was unable to figure out what is going where!
2. There was a drastic necessity of digging into each unit of work I had, and trace out 'Why am I doing what I am doing'!
3. ACHE!!! Anything Can Happen Every time! Adapting timely to the dynamic runtime changes to the Project elements such as, the requirements documents, PRA's and Mapping Documents was a Big Challenge!
While dealing with such scenarios, there was always a possibility and scope to work with an understanding of the Domains and the Systems as a 'WHOLE'!
WHOLE! – WELL-BEING HARKWORK OPPORTUNITY LUCK EFFORT
Being accountable and responsible for Crucial, Critical and Differentiating Project Elements has not only been a challenge to face, but also has been something that kept me apart from others because only those Challenges had created 'Capability' in me!
Fortunately I was able to map the Corporate Domain into something that was value for me...TIAC - Take It As Challenge!
Sooner I had an understanding of how big the Project picture was and where my work integrated in!
I analyzed my State of Mind after the Project Engagement; I had given 3 E's ‘Effort Energy and Enthusiasm’ and had got 3 E's in-turn from my Performance: ‘Experience, Exposure and Enlightenment’ about the Project Domain!
Thus, the fundamental Thumb Rule that I had formulated was: 'Adapt Change to Deliver Change'!
And now, after having had a positive impact in both ways, the name significance of 'Johndeere' has changed for me!
I am realizing and feeling the Joy-in-Deere! And often communicate to my friends saying “Why Fear? Join-Deere!” ;)
