Until I started my freelance consulting business - I always thought of project managers as useless pieces of junk, who simply made life miserable for the tech team.
(Ofcourse, I still hold that opinion about the project managers at my current employers!)
But, what I realize now is that they're an absolutely essential element to the equation. And, I should also add, their job although light in terms of workload is laden with tons of responsibilities and worries and tensions.
"Deadlines ... Status Calls ... Customer Retention ... Solution Pitching ... Request For Initiatives ... Request For Proposals ... Leadership Management ... Team Spirit Building ... Returns On Investment ... Margins ... Revenues ... Billing ... etc ... etc ... etc ..."
These are the buzz words that I live by these days. Ofcourse, since I am new to this kind of a role - I am making plenty of mistakes. But, the good news is - everyday is a learning curve and I ensure that I don't make the same mistake twice!
Hopefully, soon, I'll be a kick ass manager (and a lot more!)
Godspeed to me !!!
