A typical day
A short daily stand-up meeting with the development team: what is blocked? A call with the vendor whose delivery slipped again. An hour updating the schedule and the risk list. A steering committee meeting, where you tell the executives overseeing the project that the launch date is at risk and what you need from them to save it. An afternoon of one-on-ones, smoothing a conflict between a designer and a developer. Writing the weekly status report that everyone skims. You build nothing yourself; your job is that everything gets built.
