"scrapped. "
Way better than spending a couple of days working on it before a weekly checkup meeting.

- lawnchair_larry 15y agoProject managers don't typically make such decisions. They ask how X is coming along, and how long Y will take.
- MortenK 15y agoThe PM might also be the Product Manager. In that case they would indeed be taking those decisions.
- jiggy2011 15y agoThis depends a lot of the size of the project and company. Some teams may work more on a model where they just have to deliver X, where X is some high level business requirement. In such circumstances it might not be unreasonable for the project manager to make decisions about which particular bells and whistles to include in the version 1 deliverable etc.

To me, it sounds like a false dichotomy to say that you either sit together and have rapid communication OR you sit apart and are forced to wait for a weekly checkup meeting... surely there's a continuum there??
