Every time you see someone on the podium talking eloquently, do you dream of becoming yourself one day? Every time you see others reporting to the leader in a logical and clear structure, do you dream of becoming yourself one day? Every time you see someone’s battle, do you want to be yourself one day? Do you dream of being yourself one day? Yes, you have no vision, you just want to be a salty fish, then you go, don’t wonder about my article…

What is the pyramid principle?

define

It is a mode of thinking and expression, in which you can extract a central argument from anything and break it down into three to seven sub-arguments, each supported by three to seven sub-arguments, all of which extend downward like a pyramid.

Requirement: MECE law

  • The pyramid hierarchy needs to:The points at each level are independent of each other.Taken together, there is no omission.
  • If you don’t repeat your arguments, you won’t have to reinvent the wheel. If your argument is not omitted, your thinking is rigorous and watertight, which is the best quality of thinking.
  • The lower is the upperTheoretical supportThe upper is the lowerConclusion the abstract.

Pyramid principle +STAR Principle = Quarterly report

What is a STAR,

  • Situation background
  • Task task
  • Action action
  • Result The results of
  • For example:
    • S: the second opening rate of XX website homepage is too low (too many pictures are too large, too many JS packages are introduced and too complicated codes are introduced)
    • T: Make the opening rate of XX website homepage reach 95% in 3 days, and improve user experience and retention rate
    • A: Image compression + thumbnail + preloading + lazy loading; Delete useless JS package + merge; SSR+CDN was used for acceleration
    • R: Within 2 days, the opening rate of the homepage of XX website reached 99%

Pyramid principle +SCQA model = Summary report template

What is a SCQA

  • Situation background
  • Conflict conflict
  • Question The problem
  • Answer The answer
  • For example:
    • S: Xiao Wang and I are coordinating the interface of XX module of XX system
    • C: Xiao Wang secretly changed the interface document without informing me. The interface was wrong and the test said it was my pot
    • Q: How to prevent the background from changing the interface document?
    • A: The interface document platform should add the function of recording every modification and notifying the project owner!

Pyramid principle +PREP model = Argument presentation tool

What is a PREP

  • Point view
  • Reason reason
  • Example case
  • Point View emphasizes
  • For example:
    • P: This demand will certainly not be online in three days
    • R: 2 days for UI draft, 2 days for front and back end development, 2 days for joint testing, less than 6 days will not work
    • E: Last time, my colleague cut his time by half and worked overtime for a month to go to the hospital. The project was still delayed and he resigned after coming back.
    • P: this absolutely not need 3 days, why don’t you go to add time | | to coordinate resources to cut some demand

Pyramid +PDCA cycle = Quarterly target execution methodology

What is the PDCA cycle

  • Plan plan
  • Do action
  • Check check
  • Act To deal with
  • For example:
    • / P Q1 raised the Nuggets from 0 to tier 3 this year
    • D Write 10 blog posts, 3-4 per month, with 100 credits per post
    • C Check whether the progress is normal at the end of each month. Analyze and solve the causes of slow progress
    • A Each month’s incomplete merges into the next month’s PDCA cycle

Pyramid principle + Golden Circle rule = structure of self-developed products speech promotion

What is the Golden Circle rule

  • Simon Sinek developed the concept of the Golden Circle rule in his book “Starting with why”. He found that when people express or incentivize others, the normal path is phenomenon first, action second, and result last, which has little effect. And the path that moves people really should be: first idea, then measure, then phenomenon, finally is result.Why, then how, and finally what.
  • For example:
    • Why to develop low Code productsB: Because it’s low-level duplication and a waste of manpower, we need to improve efficiency
    • How to develop this product: Extracting business components and blocks, dragging and generating platforms during r&d
    • What does this product do: No need to develop, quickly generate the system and go online

Other benefits of the Pyramid principle

  • The formation ofTop-down results-oriented expressionway
  • The formation ofSummary of bottom-up abstract thinkingway
  • The formation ofHorizontal splits refine the argumentAbility to
  • The formation ofStructured thinking
