A typical day

A stand-up 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 executives 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.
