I really am a bit confused and i wish to have some opinions about the following subject :
1.I run as a junior developer into a company.I expect for project to be well defined , with clear written specification,even a model and my project to have the associated code together with theoretical consideration about environment (it is about Microsoft platforms and frameworks).Instead, i receive a very unclear schema grid (3 pages) and nobody ask me to write a thing about solution,just code behind and views.Which way do you consider is more appropiate?

It's more appropriate to discuss the situation with the team members, not with us. Don't delay important discussions, try to clear things as soon as possible.

Remember that the team might have done quite a sloppy work on preparation for this project and documentation, by whatever reasons. Nevertheless, don't wait until people get it ready for you to proceed. Instead, try to actively participate. If the project goals, architecture or whatever else is not yet well shaped, consider this as an additional opportunity for you to contribute the way improving the work of the team. In all cases, ask a lot of questions.

One important detail: try to focus on fundamental ultimate goals of the project, not the decisions which are already made — they tend to change, and you are the one who want better decisions. Always try to realistically estimate your own limited experience, but it should not stop you from speaking out on the problems you can see; in this respect, don't be afraid of making mistakes: they are quite understandable.

Again, ask many questions. Try to get as far as to the understanding of the work of your end customers and their real need. Try to get your own independent understanding of those needs, as the companies tend to form their own vision which may be better than customer's, but in many cases misunderstanding is being developed, so try to make your own independent observations. One more thing: write down all your notes, especially on those starting (inception) phases of the project.

Now that is a statement that should be taken to heart by everybody. It's not just for programmers or developers, but should be taught as a healthy part of work ethics to all. My 5!

Cheers!

Thank you very much for your nice words, Manfred.
I actually did not try to write anything so comprehensive but tried to address only the awkward situation depicted by OP. It's just that such situations are often not easy.

Well said SA. If I could have given 50+ for this, I would have but CP permits only 5.

Many years ago i've done it with few candidates to job ;) Why? I was wondering what they do in crisis situation. They came to me and and they said: we have no enough information... What we should know more? They are very good employees now.

Good advice, Sergey!
+5!
