My PM doesn’t tell me to do anything. Their job is to prioritize things on the backlog and give status updates. Very, very rarely do they tell me that whatever I’m working on no longer needs to be done at all.
Generally speaking, if I do get an interruption, it’s from the person above the Project Manager. And they’re more of the “shit hit the fan” variety of problems that need to be resolved.
My PMs are all about time allocation… yet they fail to understand what research is.
Pm: How long until you finish designing and implementing this thing?
Me: I cant put a time on it, weve never done this before and have no points of reference. So i could figure it out today or a month from today…i cant give you a time because its bever been implemented.
PM: Sighs in dissapproval… ill just say 5 business days. Hows that.
Me: if we are just making up numbers, sure
just don’t you dare ever proactively prevent a problem
always gotta spend 5x on the current dumpster fire
Which is when I just do it I tell them afterward. I build it into my estimates so it doesn’t put us behind.
There are still a few cans that get kicked down the road though, for various reasons.
i love i told you so too much
it’s usually the customers exacting fault
