Forbes科技咨询委员会成员分享取胜策略：帮助您和技术团队实现和超越Q1目标。
No.1
每周检查目标完成情况
如果想完成Q1目标，你需要落实和把握全局。在公司中，我们每周有例会，各团队成员要汇报他们是否按进度完成或偏离各自的Q1目标。这有助于了解每个人是否专注自己的目标，也对团队中的个体最新进展了然于胸。-Thomas Griffin, OptinMonster
No.2
重新评估和调整策略
保持对目标的评估非常重要，即便目标是新年的方案。应对各种新挑战，调整开发进度是每个成功领导人的必由之路，特别是在快速变更迭代的科技行业。-Daria Leshchenko, SupportYourApp Inc.
No.3
拥抱意外变化
突出重点目标并为意外变化做足准备。通常，你和团队创造的价值会在制定计划时不经意间一战成名。带领你的团队把他们的时间按50/50分配在计划内和计划外工作上，寻求意外的机会并及时创新。-Brandon Dewitt, MX
No.4
整合各种技术目标来超越既定目标
达成Q1各种技术目标的最好方法是确保与所在单位的总体目标完全一致。为了确保优先权和调用充足的资源，你必须确保你们的工作与推动公司前进息息相关。你应该寻求方法实现自上而下的树型目标，这样你的技术目标清晰可见，与公司宏伟蓝图相呼应。-Christy Johnson, AchieveIt
No.5
了解自我局限
在设定可实现的目标与过于乐观间有清晰的界线，了解目标是否可实现需要评估资源、设定贴近现实的预期和随机应变的方案。与团队成员保持紧密而开放性的沟通，确保设定的目标可以按进度完成和超过预期。-Abishek Surana Rajendra, Course Hero
No.6
不要再用去年无效的招数
评估前一年哪些方法有效和哪些出问题的工作非常重要。与团队成员检讨和权衡是来年创造佳绩的关键。与团队全心投入设定目标很重要，这样可以让每个人在心中牢记公司增长目标，完成公司的增值目标。与团队成员不断开会可以确保目标实现，让大家达成共识。-Bhavna Juneja, Infinity, a Stamford Technology Company
No.7
关注结果而非技术
必须关注商业上的结果。我见过很多以技术为核心的计划失败了，主要是因为仅仅关注技术。我们必须把技术与各方资源协调一致并开花结果带来真正的变化，重视商业方面的成功会让每个人都与你站在一起，这也是确保商业上的成功，避免成为又一个投入不菲，以失败告终的科研项目。-Geoff Webb, PROS
No.8
认清技术的作用
必须确保你对公司2020年的业务发展目标了如指掌，也让你的技术方案与之匹配。关键问题是你必须解决技术如何可以帮助公司实现目标。不管是符合CCPA要求、数字化转型或者推出新产品，必须从Q1第一天起就对技术的作用了然于心。-Ilia Sotnikov, Netwrix
No.9
Low-Code(简代码)开发优先
记得把Low-Code(简代码)开发列入你的行动纲领中。Low-code/no-code工具将以少量代码甚至不用编程的方式帮助实现业务所需，这对企业和机构而言可以更好地实现资源分配。技术促进IT部门提供更快捷的解决方案而不增加新的工作量。从在用的定制软件到开发企业级应用，Low-code将帮助我们达成技术目标。-Katherine Kostereva, Creatio (前身bpm’online)
No.10
对相关变化未雨绸缪
我最喜欢的一个座右铭是“智能是有能力适应变化（史蒂夫-霍金）”。我们必须认识到世上唯一不变的是变化。一个沿用多年的技术线路可能在某一年大放异彩，第二年可能就风光不再了。奋力前行与勉强续命的区别就在于我们每天、每周、每月、每季度、每年是否对相关变化做足了准备。—Daniela Moody, Ursa Space
No.11
重视团队的反馈
为了实现长期可持续优势，完成Q1与2020财年的目标，IT负责人应该与团队充分沟通和汇总反馈，不能成为信息孤岛。—Terence Jackson, Thycotic
No.12
邀请客户一同参与
一些技术负责人会把客户不可预见的需求视为自己战略目标外的负担或干扰。每季度和技术团队最好专注于为客户提供价值，同时快速完成自己的分内工作。邀请客户作为伙伴一起参与设计规划可以确保产品或输出能够更好服务市场。—Evan Kohn, Pypestream
No.13
学会权衡问题
花费1美分是小事，如果重复10亿次就是天大的事情。无论新产品发布，还是已经沿用数十年的技术，现在都是权衡“微不足道”即将成为或已经成为大问题的时机了。—Seth Noble, Data Expedition, Inc.
No.14
平衡短期“胜利”与长期目标的进展
Q1通常引入关注，因为这是全年增长计划的起跑点。短期的“胜利”非常重要，因为一月份收益的变化将很可能重复12次，影响十二月的收入完成情况。当然，确保进展与长期目标一致非常重要，表明了对战略计划的坚定执行。平衡是关键一环。—Steve Pao, Hillwork, LLC

As successful leaders in the tech field, the members of Forbes Technology Council know how to set and achieve both short-term and long-term business goals. Below, they share 14 tips to help you and your team nail your Q1 tech goals.
Forbes Technology Council members share strategies for meeting and exceeding your tech team's first quarter goals.
No.1
Do Weekly Goal Check-Ins
If you want to accomplish your Q1 goals, you need to keep track of and stay on top of them. At our company, we have company meetings each week and each team member reports on whether they're on track or off track with their Q1 goals. This helps make sure everyone is focusing on nailing their goals and keeps everyone else on the team up-to-date as well. - Thomas Griffin, OptinMonster
No.2
Reevaluate And Adapt
It is important to always reevaluate your goals, even if that goal was your New Year’s resolution. Being able to adapt to new challenges and change the course of development is a valuable trait for any successful leader, especially in the tech industry where changes are happening at a rapid speed. -Daria Leshchenko, SupportYourApp Inc.
No.3
Embrace The Unexpected
Prioritize what's important and plan for the unexpected. Oftentimes, the greatest value you or your team will create will be an opportunity that was unforeseen when you mapped out your plan. Empower your teams to split their time 50/50 between the planned and unplanned opportunities, exploring the unexpected and innovating in real-time. - Brandon Dewitt, MX
No.4
Align Tech Goals To Overarching Goals
The best way to nail Q1 tech goals is to make sure they're directly aligned to support overall organizational goals. To earn the right to prioritize and use sufficient resources, you have to be able to draw a direct link to how your actions are moving the needle company-wide. You must find a way to draw out your initiatives on a top-down tree, so your tech goals are visibly aligned to big initiatives. - Christy Johnson, AchieveIt
No.5
Know Your Limits
There is a fine line between setting achievable goals and being overly optimistic. Understanding whether a goal is achievable requires accessing resources, setting realistic expectations and being willing to adapt if things do not go as planned. Communicating frequently and openly with your team regarding set goals will ensure that you are on pace to meet and beat expectations. - Abishek Surana Rajendra, Course Hero
No.6
Don't Repeat What Didn't Work Last Year
It is important to evaluate what worked and what went wrong in the previous year. Checks and balances with your team are key for next year's success. Building targets with your team's buy-in is crucial, as they will accomplish it keeping the company's growth objectives in mind. Continuous meetings with the teams are pertinent to ensure targets are achieved and all are on the same page. - Bhavna Juneja, Infinity, a Stamford Technology Company
No.7
Focus On Your Outcomes, Not The Technology
Focus on the business outcome. I've seen so many tech-centered goals fail because they were exactly that, centered on the tech. You'll need support and alignment with a lot of stakeholders to drive any real change, so keeping your eye on the business prize helps keep everyone on your side, and that's what makes the difference between success and yet another expensive, failed science project. - Geoff Webb, PROS
No.8
Know The Technology's Role
Make sure you clearly understand your company's business objectives for 2020 and align your tech plans accordingly. The main question you should be able to answer is how technology should be leveraged to help the company reach its goals. Whether it's CCPA compliance, digital transformation or a new product launch, you should know the tech's role in it from day one in Q1. - Ilia Sotnikov, Netwrix
No.9
Prioritize Low-Code Development
Make sure low-code development is on your radar. Low-code/no-code tools help to address business needs with little to no coding required, which for organizations means better resource allocation. The technology fosters faster solutions delivery without a further load increase on the IT department. From customizing software in use to creating enterprise-grade apps. Low-code will help to nail your tech goals. - Katherine Kostereva, Creatio (formerly bpm’online)
No.10
Be Proactive About Relevant Change
One of my favorite quotes is, 'Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change' (Stephen Hawking). We must recognize the only constant in the world is change. A multi-year tech road map that was brilliant one year may be obsolete the next. The difference between adapting to thrive and adapting to survive is how proactive we are about relevant change, each day, week, month, quarter or year. - Daniela Moody, Ursa Space
No.11
Get Your Team's Feedback
For long-term and sustained success of your Q1 or fiscal year 2020 goals, IT leaders should communicate effectively and clearly with their team and solicit feedback. Don’t operate in a silo. - Terence Jackson, Thycotic
No.12
Keep Customers Engaged
Some tech leaders may view unforeseen customer feature requests as a distraction to their strategic goals. Quarterly inclined tech teams must keep the focus on the big picture of delivering customer value in parallel to maintaining their commitments regarding sprint completions. Enrolling customers as design partners can help ensure the product output will effectively serve the market. - Evan Kohn, Pypestream
No.13
Look For Scaling Problems
A problem that costs you a penny isn't a big deal until you do it a billion times. Whether it is a new product launch or tech that has been around for decades, now is a good time to think about projects that may grow—or have already grown—to the point where 'negligible' issues have become big problems. - Seth Noble, Data Expedition, Inc.
No.14
Balance Short-Term'Wins'With Progress Against Longer-Term Goals
Q1 is always interesting because it comes on the heels of growth plans for the calendar year. Short-term 'wins' are important because a change that impacts January revenue can have 12 times the impact of the same change implemented for December revenue. Still, ensuring notable progress against longer-term goals is also important to demonstrate a commitment to strategic initiatives. Balance is key. - Steve Pao, Hillwork, LLC
