No problem! It's a weird question to ask. A lot of companies just hire a project manager and let them work it out. There seems like there should be a better way, or at least some partial alternatives. I'm hoping to find some answers.

Funny you should mention that. I've just been hired as a project manager to do just that. Figure it out. I see myself as infrastructure, my work is to build a structure to enable others to do what they do best. Then again, it's my job to develop the plan on how to do that within the given constraints.

Ha! I think project managers as infrastructure makes a lot of sense. Just seems like there should be ways to smooth out the process, especially with smaller teams/companies so less project management is required.
