A mate is earning easily close to a Mil € a year going into big companies and reforming their IT teams to make them more efficient... He moved to Andorra for the max 10% tax bracket lol.. If they are able to go it alone and invoice the clients/companies they'll end up much better off, more so if they move to a low tax country If the fat little c**t starts earning a million sovs he can give me some of it so I don’t do him in ! 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Proper cut throat industry where everyone pulls their wages , figures and earnings out of their arse . fair play if you can make a good wage at it . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The best project managers I met met were women and and only about half of those were any good, the blokes were normally tossers doing nothing more than handing out spread sheets and time lines but without an actual clue of how projects have to fit together in reality. A normal conversation would be along the lines of: PM: ”X amount of kit will arrive on X amount of 40ft lorry’s at X time every evening for 14 days” Me: ”Who’s doing the transport and what’s their contact number, I don’t want to have 10 blokes standing around doing nothing while the driver has egg & chips in a cafe on the M20” PM: ”The manufacturers are arranging that and they have assured me it’s all sorted, no problem” Me: ”It’s never all sorted and when they go home and 4:30 they don’t care, give me the number of the person at the manufacture and I’ll talk to them” PM: ”It will be fine, they have assured me” Me: ”I’ll repeat, it’s never all fine, just give me their details, I need to know everyone and their contacts at every step so I can make sure your job gets done on time” PM: ”I’ll email them tomorrow and double check, but it’s all fine” Me: ”I’ll just fly out there and see them myself” Absolute amateurs the lot of them in my experience……when it gos boss eyed they normally have a confused look and the excuse of “well I emailed and sent the spreadsheet ?!” Yeah, but you didn’t make sure and then make sure again did you ya f***ing idiot ! These people have caused me no end of extra hours in my life because I never let other people break my promises and I can’t stand excuses. Women ( when you get a good one) I found are much better at the role, they let people who know get on with their job, are open to advice and collate and deliver information well so that everyone knows who, what, how and when. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure I'd really call that project management tbh. That sounds more a business as usual activity. What's the output? I mean a PM would do that as part of an actual project if there wasn't a dedicated team member to handle logistics but it's not exactly representing the value that a PM really brings to an organisation. Not that I'm a project manager but the best ones are experts at stakeholder management. I see it all of the time where directors/VPs are completely misaligned, team members too afraid to voice concerns over feasibility etc etc. Stakeholder management and discipline are all there is too it at it's core. They have a sixth sense for risk too. I suspect we're talking about two very different professionals really. Edited April 23 by Born Hunter 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,871 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 (edited) Basic explanation of an IT project product - new website Stakeholders - the business managers/hierarchy who want the new website PO - product owner, responsible for ensuring the stakeholder requirements are handed to the SM correctly and to follow the projects development. SM - scrum master, responsible as a buffer between the hierarchy + PO and the dev team. Also a team lead/coach Dev team - bunch of twats who create the damn website. SCRUM - methodology for managing projects. Breaking them down into parts that can be completed in 2 week sprints. There’s a hell of a lot more into it but that’s the crux AGILE - methodology above SCRUM that can incorporate other methodologies such as Kanban, Prince 2, SAFE etc. correctly, AGILE should be the whole the company and should (in theory) start with the hierarchy. In IT the CIO for example. Edited April 23 by mushroom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,871 Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 And yes it means to be agile lol. So being open and able to adapt and adjust to changes in a project. Putting certain things to the side to tackle a more important task. For example the website needs an extra button that maybe allows clients to get direct access to sales and the hierarchy only thought it would be a good idea halfway through the project.
