Although we'd like to spend most of our time on strategic activities such as managing stakeholder expectations, or team building, the reality is that most project managers are required to spend some time on "paperwork".

I'm running a one week poll to get an idea as to how much effort such rote administrative work actually takes:

This is a very interesting pool. I'm suprised how many people is over 25%.

I'm curious why? lack of tools?

Lack of definition as to what comprises "administration work" vs "management work". I would argue that a big part of management is administrative.
