Usually have differing work depending on which phase of project lifecycle.

Early stage days are estimating + research. Often sitting with users and figuring out system complexity (from a usage and implementation perspective). Most important part of any project/transformation. Can never know enough. This is usually 2-3 hours meetings per day with users/technical groups, 3-4 hours documentation pieces.

Later stage projects are process heavy. 3-4 hours with support, incident managers, networking, testers, devs, SLA stuff, NFRs all that fun stuff. Rest of the day writing.

Overall it can be busy with long presentation prep and discovery/planning work or it can be quiet (something gets delayed) where I just go play with some new tech for a few days!
