    Should we add every project in resume? How about it's a small project, less than 10 person*month..

      Resume writing itself is a skilled art. The first introduction or the first profile that crashes inside to a potential employers desk would be like an advertising brochure showcasing your world-class projects. Then slowly, when a call comes along, you would show up your prowess and potential, opening each one, one at a time or 'Flood-Gates-Opened' as the case may deem fit appropriately. :)

        Just take a break ie., leave for one week and enjoy as much as you want? And return to office for the next project.

          At the very start, I suggest our team to write some comment in code. Then use NDoc or VS.NET IDE to generate some HTML files. But, we have a problem to do this. The code is write for Japanese clients, so we cannot write Chinese comment in it. unfortunately, our English are poor too. at last, we give up write comments in code... because of the language reason. :^)

              This is fact in China. Most of companies have no break, no bonus after project finished. The worse thing is company pay nothing if you work overtime. :((:((:((:((:((:((:((:((:((:((:((

                  I had a look at ghostdoc2.0 but it works only with C# and VB.NET, our project writing in VC++(MFC). ;P

                    After the project finished -> means coding and test were completed. What do you do if no task assign to you? Write coding document? or Write refactoring ? or others... -------------------------------------------------------------------- We are drawing flow diagram for important event, like button click...

                                  This is a good idea. We don't have full document before coding. so we write it now

                                    If the testing is complete and signed off then you certainly do not touch the code - or the testing would have to be done again. If there are gaps in the documentation now is a great time to do them because you're going to need them when the project is released.

                                      "Finished"? It's never finished. Go back to the first part you wrote and see whether or not you can write it better. Also, keep your head down and look busy.

                                      I am 100% agree. I work for kind of in house systems and the systems don't have anything to say that we are complete or this project is over. I work simultenuusly in 3-4 projects and after 6 months of one project had been finished we do bug tracking and improvement.

                                        Documentation should be PART of the project, not something tacked on after it. If your PM isn't giving you time to document as you work then give him a slap for being unproffessional. As for finishing projects; A smart person only ever starts projects, hand over to someone else and start a new project way before anything could hit the fan :-D

                                          Wander aimlessly / have a little look for possible refactorings / help comrades who are having troubles / wait for more requirements to be added to the project... / wait for next project :P In my last job, we did pair programming and it was a small team (about 8 programmers) where we had a board for user stories and tasks. When finished a task, we'd move it to the "done" area, then switch partners if another team has finished around the same time, and then take another task (randomly or easiest available :P) from the "todo" area and start work. When a project was deemed complete (i.e. all tasks and parent user stories are done), we would all start the next project together or maybe spend an iteration (week) refactoring, checking for/fixing new bugs, sometimes adding to the user-acceptance tests, and probably idling. A few people would be involved with long-running (i.e. dirty) projects which would get new stories/tasks once in a while.
