> We had weekly meetings with them on progress - which are now twice-weekly (because that will speed things up.) I've been on more than one project with delays. Delays make management nervous. I understand that, but having more meetings about it will never make things go faster. Having a half-hour check-in with the PM every day so that they can "provide me with support and give me what I need to get the project back on track" is not helpful. There is nothing they can give me that I need other than fewer meetings. There are no obstacles but time, and the only reason that is an obstacle is because upper management insisted on an unrealistic timeline to begin with.
