But that extra time is the PM's job to add on, not the engineer's. If you ask an engineer "how long will it take," you should expect to get back "here's how long it will take me," not "here's how long it will take me and the other people you manage".
- sumtechguy 4y agoYou are exactly correct but that is not what people really ask. It takes awhile for engineers to realize it. By that time they are stressed out and do not know how to manage the PM. The PM is usually not a subject matter expert they manage tasks. They do not even know they need those things. So they fully expect you 'the expert' to know it. Is it 'right' not really, but it is reality and a side effect of how many people become PM's.
