Becoming an unintentional SME and doing deliverables
Fundamentally, if you’re the type of person that enjoys being a PM it’s because you like follow-through and get a hard on for organization and completion (pun intended).
In every PM role I’ve had I hit a point where if no one is going to do the work timely (or well) I’ll just do it myself. This gets results and helps move projects along. I also find that this gives me more insight into the process as a whole and creates better dialogue with my BAs and architects since I actually have an understanding of the nuts and bolts, unlike the stakeholders or executives.
What I’m trying to get at, is whether this is a normal aspect of being a PM, or if perhaps this is an alternative role/career path I should be pursuing. I’m a curiosity learning and I’m petty so I am more than happy to dive right into the deep end.
