What has been your most painful moment as a project manager?
The most painful moment for me was coming to the realization that not everyone performing as a project manager really understands what being a project manager is, or that not everyone has the same level of interest and excitement at continually improving their performance as a project manager.

Most painful moments for me continue to be staff's reluctance to change and lack of urgency.

Most painful moment: Project Sponsor's and Project Team's definition of project success was different. OUCH!

The most painful moment would be sponsors changing scope at the last minute prior to rollout-- instead of really hammering out the requirements in the beginning.
My most painful moment as a project manager was working with a stakeholder with extremely unrealistic expectations.

Most painful moment: A project canceled after much time had already been invested.

The most painful moment was when my division was shuttered a week before completing a project.

Most painful was a project that had team members not interested in project and I had no authority to get them to participate.

Pain points - team not fully invested in project as sponsor had decreed that project had to be done using his methodology, regardless of what the best practice/team's recommendations for implementation were.

Most painful part of project to establish contingency check printing off-site was when HR wouldn''t cooperate for payroll checks. In the event of emergency, vendors and others backed up, but not employees! Good promotion for direct deposit though.

My most painful moment for a project was when the team could not agree on a direction to take.

Most "workful" moments are realated to dealing with unexpected risks. But I am happy with them because there are no any project or project manager without risks...

One of the most painful moment was a transitioning the entire delivery framework with an environment fearful of the change.
Amanda Bayane
Project Manager| Rush Enterprises

Most painful moment was when I realized that the executive team didn't have an accurate picture of what project management was and that I was going to have my work cut out for me to educate them.
