秧秧老师的中文课堂-HSK专项练习

HSK4级听力题4

Recently, I coached a team of four – 2 talented software developers, a product manager, and a product designer – at a startup facing a decision. Their current product management system was a mix of spreadsheets, emails, and sticky notes, hindering collaboration and development. They needed to persuade their founder to adopt Jira, a project management tool.

We began by dissecting the founder's viewpoint.  Was it a fear of change? A concern about learning a new system?  Through open-ended questions and active listening, we discovered the founder valued efficiency and transparency.

The team knew the founder's needs and wants so we crafted a persuasive narrative.  The developers highlighted how Jira's bug tracking system would streamline communication and expedite fixes. The product manager showcased how Jira's visual boards would enhance project visibility, ensuring everyone was on the same page.  The designer emphasized the improved user interface and workflows, promoting user adoption.

We gathered data showcasing the wasted time and communication breakdowns caused by their current system. We contrasted it with quantifiable benefits of Jira – faster development cycles, improved team collaboration, and reduced errors.  

We set up a demo of Jira, showcasing how it addressed their specific pain points. I prepped the team to answer potential objections and provide examples of companies using Jira.

The final step was a unified presentation.  Each team member presented their department's perspective, painting a clear picture of the benefits across the development workflow. 

The founder, impressed by the team's research, data, and collaborative effort, agreed to a Jira trial.  Their persuasive communication, grounded in understanding their audience's needs and presenting a clear solution, secured a win for the entire team. This success story highlights the power of effective communication in driving positive change within a startup environment.
