I’m currently finishing off a project where we have been assigned a new Project Manager. She hasn’t made a great impression so far.
The Testers haven’t been available over the week, but personally, I did complete the development on 3 items that I’d estimated to be 8 days work, so really that’s 1.5 working weeks of work. So in my mind I was ahead of schedule by half a week.
The Testing hadn’t been done, so we hadn’t fully completed the items, so technically, we get 0 points there. However, I was ahead from my side.
Then in our project meeting (which the Testers also couldn’t attend), the Project Manager stated that she was very disappointed because “we haven’t done a week’s worth of work”.
I told the Testers what she said and they were outraged because they felt “it wasn’t her place to comment”.
A few days later, she sends me a message like:
“could you please quickly pop intot eh knban BOARD AND MAKE SURE YOU HAV PU SEOM NUMBER OF DAYS AGAINST EACH OF YOUT ITEM SO I CAN SEE HOW LONG SOMETHING TOOK ETC”
Project Manager
Did she type that without looking at the screen? So bizarre.
