Yes - they play a vital role in project delivery!
Market has been a little dry over Dec/Jan but seems to be picking up now around these parts (West Yorks).If she weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood. And therefore a witch! -

A good friend (mgt. consultant) and myself have been mulling over an idea to write a book entitled: The Organic Project - or something similar.
Without giving too much away, the premise is that PMs are basically useless bottlenecks who, instead of taking the load off the implementors of any task, simply burden them with crap and line-reporting overheads.
Bee hives don't have 'project manager' bees.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

Luckily for me, people are not like bees.

Bees don't work to budgets and schedules or post on CUK all day.
I am a PM and I do get sick of having to push people and get updates all the time but clients have expectations and my main job is managing them.
Anyway, enough from me...Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.Comment
