#projectmanagers — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #projectmanagers, aggregated by home.social.

  1. @pluralistic BITD too many #ProjectManagers were rewarded for looking busy on paper (or PowerPoint) and not necessarily for completing projects that actually worked for customers. I’ve seen the best #pm schemes—everything from #waterfall to #agile reduced to bean counting by this calculus that “I’ll get promoted away from this project if I make my numbers for the quarter.”

  2. #dataArchitects and #projectManagers and #systemsThinking people.... I'm checking in to see if people have tools they like for documenting their long term planning. I certainly have wikis and spreadsheets and they may really be the answer to publication and dissemination as I collect lists of every codebase in my purview and its known annual basic maintenance requirements. Anyone got thoughts about keeping track of over arching basic maintenance costs on teams (yes yes, I can ticket things, but this is the stage of the work before there are tickets). I am perfectly aware that tools don't solve these problems -- good old fashioned thought and note taking solves these problems, but I'm dithering over where and how to create some long-lived public artifacts and am curious if people like anything better than a wiki.

  3. Calling all #ProjectManagers . My job in #MediaAccess for #Blind and #PartiallySighted people recently got more complex. Multiple incoming projects with limited staffing and a need to constantly (and quickly) adjust schedules and turnarounds, with multiple dependencies and ripple effects. What #ProjectManagement software would you recommend and why?

  4. Aha! Pink Floyd's number buzzing in my ears ... 🎸🎸

    🎶 Have A Cigar 🎶

    ....and swinging my body with it 🕺🕺🕺🕺 ....weekends should revitalize the energy.

  5. Well, time well spent on something I wasn't aware of(it is NOT about awareness, but it is all about SCOPE), is time well spent. The important part is, to apply that learned part, immediately. :)

    Cheers, fellas ...sipping my tropical drink 🍹 to rejoice the learning!

  6. To get over the lull, listening to Mark Knopfler's foot tapping number and swinging my body with it 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺 🎸🎸🎸🎸

    🎶 Money For Nothing 🎶

  7. Phew! .......bloody hell ....meh

    Regex is fucking hard and my inability to grasp makes it even harder. Gobbles up so much time. It is something that never gets fluent in spite of practice ...crazy...

    But ...but whoever told you otherwise is either an obnoxious moron or has no clue whatsoever.

  8. Well, a cup of hot coffee ☕ and Mark Knopfler's number ....ah lovely!!

    🎶Now the sun's gone to hell

    And the moon's riding high

    Let me bid you farewell

    Every man has to die

    But it's written in the starlight

    And every line in your palm

    We're fools to make war

    On our brothers in arms 🎶

  10. The irony of life and perennial truth! ☕

    “Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better.” — Edsger Dijkstra

  11. NEVER EVER get into an argument with "gatekeepers", it will be a serious waste of time. Their head is filled with preconceived dogma, any discussion ends up in losing cause.

    Rather, ignore their opinions. Let them die with their "right thoughts".

  12. Fun and folly to start the weekend. But, wait....your definition of "enjoyment" would be quite radically better and apt than mine. So, if you failed to get it, absolutely not your fault.

  14. "Imposter syndrome"???? You are kidding me.

    What the fuck, every tom-dick-n-harry is preaching it so very frequently??

    I bet, most of them missed it by miles. Preaching for the sake of just catching the eyes of the beloved and getting some real sympathy for their inability.
