ideas on project management
1, control the schedule
If don't know how to control the schedule, the manager will fail. Typically, for a small company, they have no enough resource to wait. If the project failed, the first person to fire is the manager.
2, keep engineers life easy
Try to make them happy. Don't blame them, even if they made mistakes. Try to encourage them. Encouraging makes people happy, full of passion, and eager to do more contributions. 1:1 meeting with each engineer once per 2 weeks.
3, guarantee quality of the product
The quality should be guaranteed step by step. Code review every 1 or 2 weeks. Refactoring once per week. Unit test for all components (try test driven development).
