I'm currently managing a project where we are gathering requirements through workshops. The workshops are a full day commitment and are draining to say the least.
The workshops are extremely detailed and me sitting here is not adding any value to anyone. My feeling is that all I need to know as project manager is the outcome of each session.
Anon:
Reflect on your role as a PM; consider all of the opportunties to make a difference and add value.
You've stated your the PM for this project; this is a great opportunity to get to know your stakeholders, customers and the business. Don't underestimate the value you can add and trust you can begin to develop with your business community and your team.
Wayne has offered some great advice also; being a PM is all about rolling up your sleeves and doing the hard work.
You should be a part of the outcome by providing leadership. It will pay off tenfold.
