Project Managers are like Walruses
We care deeply about our buckets!
A friend of mine who works as doing software QA told me once that if he charges to the wrong time code he typically has four or more people yell at him. For Developers, I understand just how annoying it is to remember the many different bill codes that we stick on your timesheets. And yes, it’s frustrating to have to spend 20-30 minutes a week recording what you did for who’s project and when.
The flip side of that coin is that we PMs have very, very limited budgets. We’re typically asked to build a 40 story building with only enough funds to cover the first 12 floors. So it shouldn’t come as any surprise that we become quite incensed when someone violates the sanctity of our time buckets at the benefit of someone else.
So look on the bright side: at least our tusks aren’t as sharp as the real walrus’s.
