@Mike, I have to disagree with you I’m afraid.
If I understand correctly you’re saying a developer’s job doesn’t get easier the better a Web Project Manager is?
A bad Web Project Manager will:
- Oversell to clients
- Underestimate time
- Not build in contingency
- Treat developers like dog turd
- Blame the developers for everything
- Write inadequate briefs and specifications
- Miscommunicate client requirements
- Not understand the complexities of development
I could go on, but all these things alone make a developer’s job harder on a day-to-day basis no?
I’ve been on both sides too and found working for a good Web Project Manager sooooo much easier than when working with bad ones (which was infuriating!)
