一些思考与摘录
1.作为一个技术人员要立高目标，有追求，持续保持好奇心，而不是以完成为态度。求其上，得其中，求其中，得其下，只求完成，那就是一个烂摊子。
2.对待边界，对待未知，保持乐观和相信，执行过程本就是收获。
3.与有责任感和有能力的人为伍，现代管理学中强调人的主动性，人的自主性的重要性，是你要做这件事，而不是我要你做这件事。在创造性的行业中，比如写代码，一个牛逼的程序员比普通程序员能创造10倍以上效率产出。
鼻鼬工厂的工作准则：
一、备快速决策和马上行动的能力。因此需要
1）管理者必须掌握实际的权力
2）能够向关键决策者直接沟通
3）对于项目来说，公司和军方（委托方）必须成立小而精的项目办公室
4）互相信任、保持沟通
二、选用精兵强将
1）选最优秀的人
2）价值观要一致，保密原则
三、经费充足和审核控制
1）资金到位，避免承包商反腐跑银行
2）给予优秀人才充分的激励
3）每月审核成本
四、工作流程优化，KISS原则
1）制图流程简单
2）控制书面报告数量
3）提前确定指标
五、团队氛围
1）采用25美分激励超越专家
2）首飞仪式，有仪式感
3）一旦设计出现变动，要向所有人解释，上下同欲
臭鼬工厂著名的14条规定：
- The Skunk Works manager must be delegated practicallycomplete control of his program in all aspects. He should report to a divisionpresident or higher. (It is essential that the program manager have authorityto make decisions quickly regarding technical, finance, schedule, or operationsmatters.)
项目经理应该有项目的全部管理权，他应该向部门总管或者以上的领导负责。（项目经理必须有足够的权限能够快速做出决定，不论是技术方面、财务方面、时间周期方面，还是管理方面。）
- Strong but small project offices must be provided both bythe military and industry. (The customer program manager must have similarauthority to that of the contractor.)
军方和承包商方都需要准备小并且有足够权利的项目团队。（承包商方面的项目团队有极高的自治权，则客户方面的项目团队也要有极高的自治权。）
- The number of people having any connection with theproject must be restricted in an almost vicious manner. Use a small number ofgood people (10% to 25% compared to the so-called normal systems). (Bureaucracymakes unnecessary work and must be controlled brutally.)
与项目有关的人的总数应该严格控制，使用少而优秀的人（与传统相比,只要10%~25%的人）。（官僚主义会带来许多不必要的工作必须严格抑制。）
- A very simple drawing and drawing release system withgreat flexibility for making changes must be provided. (This permits early workby manufacturing organizations, and schedule recovery if technical risksinvolve failures.)
必须提供一个简单的图纸设计和发布的机制，并且要能够灵活的通过它修改设计。（这样能给工厂加工充分预留提前量，并且如果存在技术风险也可以预先准备尽量减少损失。）
- There must be a minimum number of reports required, butimportant work must be recorded thoroughly. (Responsible management does notrequire massive technical and information systems.)
报告越少越好，但重要节点和工作必须从始至终贯穿记录。（负责任的管理并不是意味着繁多的文档报告。）
- There must be a monthly cost review covering not onlywhat has been spent and committed but also projected costs to the conclusion ofthe program. Don’t have the books ninety days late and don’t surprise thecustomer with sudden overruns. (Responsible management does require operationwithin the resources available.)
每月都要做已花费成本计算和整个项目的成本估算，不要突然给客户一个项目远超预算的“惊喜”。（负责任的管理包括在有限的资源内运作。）
- The contractor must be delegated and must assume morethan normal responsibility to get good vendor bids for subcontract on the project.Commercial bid procedures are very often better than military ones. (Essentialfreedom to use the best talent available and operate within the resourcesavailable.)
认真筛选分包商，招标来的往往比军方指定的好。（在有限的资源内充分寻找和利用最好的。）
- The inspection system as currently used by the SkunkWorks, which has been approved by both the Air Force and Navy, meets the intentof existing military requirements and should be used on new projects. Push morebasic inspection responsibility back to subcontractors and vendors. Don't duplicateso much inspection. (Even the commercial world recognizes that quality is indesign and responsible operations not inspection.)
臭鼬工厂现有的检验已经通过了空军和海军的认证，达到了现有军用标准，一定要沿用到新项目上。将基础的检验交给分包商做，不要重复做这么多检验。（即使在商界大家也都认可质量是来自于设计和负责任的操作而不是来自于检验。）
- The contractor must be delegated the authority to testhis final product in flight. He can and must test it in the initial stages. Ifhe doesn't, he rapidly loses his competency to design other vehicles.(Critical, if new technology and the attendant risks are to be rationallyaccommodated.)
供应商必须负责他所供应的产品在项目各个阶段的测试，直至试飞。他能够也必须从项目最初阶段就进行测试，如果他不这样做，下次招标就没他的事情了。（非常重要，如果有新的技术，那随之而来的风险必须合理转移安置。）
- The specifications applying to the hardware must beagreed to well in advance of contracting. The Skunk Works practice of having aspecification section stating clearly which important military specificationitems will not knowingly be complied with and reasons therefore is highlyrecommended. (Standard specifications inhibit new technology and innovation,and are frequently obsolete.)
硬件的技术指标一定要在签合同前明确。臭鼬工厂会预先清晰的列出那些军事规格将不会被采用和不采用的原因和建议。（标准指标会抑制新技术和创新，而且这些指标经常过时了。）
- Funding a program must be timely so that the contractordoesn't have to keep running to the bank to support government projects.(Responsible management requires knowledge of and freedom to use, the resourcesoriginally committed.)
资助一个项目必须持续，这样供应商就不需要总跑银行去接政府项目。（有责任的管理包括对先前承诺的资源的自由支配。）
- There must be mutual trust between the military projectorganization and the contractor, the very close cooperation and liaison on aday-to-day basis. This cuts down misunderstanding and correspondence to anabsolute minimum. (The goals of the customer and producer should be the sameget the job done well.)
在军事项目公司和供应商之间必须相互信任。在一天一天的合作基础上建立的信任可以将误解降低至最小。（客户和生产商的目标应该统一为把工作完成。）
- Access by outsiders to the project and its personnelmust be strictly controlled by appropriate security measures. (This is aprogram manager’s responsibility even if no program security demands are made-acost avoidance measure.)
必须严格控制外部接触项目的人，需要设定响应的安全权限。（这是一个项目经理的责任，即使没有项目、经费没有预设安全权限。）
- Because only a few people will be used in engineeringand most other areas, ways must be provided to reward good performance by paynot based on the number of personnel supervised.(Responsible management and technical & operationalpersonnel must be rewarded. Responsible management does not permit the growthof bureaucracies.)
由于参与项目的工程师和其他方面的人员都比较少，支付奖金和薪水就要按照绩效而非人员数量。（管理人员、技术和操作人员必须奖励，负责任的管理不允许官僚主义的滋生。）
