Complain and Fail or Resolve and Succeed!!!

I still seem to not have overcome the tragerdy or failure of my first project . Yes sad indeed and as the saying emphasizes “Life must go on”, cannot seem to follow it. I seem to have scrutinized every single aspect of that project - from my lack of knowledge of the technologies involved, the learning curve of business analysis and the fact that it was my first project, but i think i got the overall picture of why I failed.

I failed because I complained and complained but never really took time out to resolve the issues at hand or well didnt really give 100% to it. When I look back on the days at the client site, I always seem to remember how much crap i spoke about the business managers there or still continue to speak about. What i should have realized was that they are business managers and my role there was to try and resolve their issues instead of acting as the prosecutor. I would look at a task at hand and usually try to scrutinze it which i think is fine but that usually led to me not understanding the problem at hand and making it even bigger.

Then what happened….

The other day, I was thinking about my current project and tried to pinpoint the problems and well i thought i will keep it to myself. Seemed to have benefited because i started to try and resolve some of them through constructive conversations. This led to well work being done faster, more recognition and also a greater harmony among team members because no one was COMPLAINING!!!! Thus we were getting SHIT done!!!!

So Conclusion …

We dont have to criticise everything i suppose and even if we do, well maybe we can try to resolve it ourself if we see it as a problem, and mention the solution after mentioning the issue at hand. Seems to work out better in the end.
