I work as a project manager I’ve been on a project for 10 months and we’ve been constantly planning and replanning. The programme manager was micro managing me and was on my every call “to offer a different perspective”. So we’ve had that out now and he’s backed off.
But we don’t have a full project team, they’re working and locked up on a previous project that is really big and keeps getting delayed. I’m asked to plans and replan but it’s all over the place with bits of people here and there.
I sort of feel like getting a sick note for a couple of months and see if it’s improved.
It wouldn’t be so bad if it was quiet but it’s the constant scrambling round trying to do stuff with resources rather than just getting the actual required project team together and progressing. And the priorities seem
to change each week so we’ll work on something and then have to change direction and work on something else.
I’ve got a side project which is impact assessing a business case by another department on our department but it’s not going to take me long to finish that.
Well paid and the project is interesting just so fed up of trying to do things all at once with no team. If I mention it to management they don’t really care and just say “make assumptions of availability and replan.” Sigh.
