Team

Just saw the movie Chak De, which talks about the true story of a coach, who lead the indian women hockey team to world cup. It makes realise one more time the magic of team, 1+1 is surely 11, if there is team spirit.

Today as i look back at my career so far, can think of so many projects delivered with awesome team spirit, wherein for everyone it was the project that was of outmost importance..nothing else...no personal gain came into picture anywhere.

I remember in one project i called up the india arch who had not slept for 30 hrs at stretch, as i had run out of ideas to solve a issue once, remember a team mate being there for me once, when i felt we could not solve an issue....his just being there with me made so much of difference...another guy whom i could call any point of time....and when i will tell him i am sorry for calling so late, he will always remind me..madhu keep the big picture in mind.

A friend for whom stopped realising the time difference, as assumed he can be called anytime in case of need.

Nothing is more rewarding then to be part of such a team, wherein this energy flows...when i look back, and think of the various struggle periods....can see the magic of team spirit!

I was fortunate enough that I got to work with some of the best people of my company during my initial 3 years. Have developed amazing relationships with some people especially the ones from my first project.
Until very recently the definition of 'good project' for me involved only the technology and business problem as great team members and leadership was never something I had to ask for. The software gods were just too nice to me :)
However the last few months have taught me that the team members and the leadership of the project is THE factor for choosing a project. Baaki sab mithya hai :)

I agree. A good team can make any project interesting and successful.
