我会主动和组内的成员进行沟通，遇到风险或者问题及时上报，同时我也会考虑是否有我可以帮的上组内工作的方面
在我刚加入我们团队对产品移动端重构的过程中，我发现大家在移动端设备的调试上不够熟悉，团队选择使用的是chrome的模拟工具，但是在不同设备的兼容问题的解决上效率很低。发现了这个问题之后，我向组内的资深工程师咨询，掌握了我们的项目的构建和调试方案，通过提供fiddler，charles脚本和文档的形式，分享给整个组一套切实有效的移动端调试方案，提升了组内的mobile
debug效率。之后，团队变得更信任我，在我做为新人的情况下，主动让我负责了更复杂的项目。

I joined the Supply Chain team as the only one without similar background. I
begin by asking lots of questions. I was not afraid of being the dumb person of
the team because I know the best time for me to learn is starting from day one
when people don’t expect you to know everything. By asking lots of questions I
also got to build a closer relationship with all my partners. They know I’m
eager to learn so they are willing to share. Frequent communication if the best
way of consolidating relationships. After on boarding, I was able to pick up the
domain knowledge quickly and communicate efficiently using the expert language.
I apply transferable design skill into this new domain and the solid design
foundation brought measurable success to the team. That’s how I eventually built
trust with my partners. And now I can tell from their face, if they see me on
the team, they can trust the design we’re building.
