![]() ![]() I visited Martin Fowler’s blog, followed all updates from TW insight, read books translated by Chinese TWers later, I discovered some more influential names and their blogs, Jim Webber, Neal Ford, Xu Hao, Xiong Zichuan and Xiong Jie. And that was when I began benefiting from articles and books by ThoughtWorkers. This piece of advice from an IT expert I used to translated for threaded my way all through various mixed information sources online, leading me right to everything I urgently needed by a short-cut. As a Chinese saying goes, “you have no choice but to learn swim when being put in the deep water, or you’d get drowned.” “ Many IT companies advocate Agile, but if you want to learn true agile knowledge, go look up ThoughtWorks online. #Thoughtworks products story tracker software#I really had to, because I didn’t even have a real mentor on IT solution delivery - all senior management consultants there were freshly new as I was, nobody had ever cooperated with a tech team doing software development. ![]() I read extensively on requirement analysis, on software design, development, and delivery. The employer had been purely specialized in management consulting for clients from domestic healthcare services, beauty, and cosmetology industries before 2013, later was invested to develop their own IT management solutions for a better implementation of the management plans.įeeling so fulfilled to be eventually one step closer to the occupation I love, I started working with super excitement and kept up with a crazily immersed learning mode. My work was firstly appreciated by my then manager from the program no long after the end of my internship, I was hired by a small start-up IT consultancy in Wuhan as a full-time management consultant. Fortunately, my language service experience made me a fast learner on almost any subject I come cross, and gave me great communication ability. Having no diploma or certificate related to either IT or business management, I acquired all my hands-on experience from the engagements I had with my former clients from IT industry as their on-site interpreter at conferences and as their distant translator among globally distributed teams on projects. Back to then, the resolution to peruse an IT consulting career was not easy - honestly, it remains a challenge to me even till now. I officially set off my consulting career in 2012, the second year of my post graduate study, as an intern consultant on IBM CSC Program. So I am going to write a long story about myself, and my experience with ThoughtWorks. However, a short story doesn’t quite tell why that interview was so significant to me personally. Then I told everyone my own story with ThoughtWorks in short. That’s how Chris George, one of my interviewers, stroke up the conversation at the very beginning of my cultural interview. Me: Hm… Well, I am going to try my best to make this story short… Chris: So, how did you know about ThoughtWorks? ![]()
