Project managing, managing expectations

They are like me when i started out as a project manager, no idea of what the project involves or what value it provides.

It's up to you to show them that value.

It's very important that you not let anything get to you as a PM.

Have to be very clear that custom code has to be reported.

"How much Drupal do you feel you have to know? Our project managers want to know Drupal but they don't want to build sites. How much about Drupal, about development, do project managers have to know?"

We started with picking up copies of "Using Drupal".

So many hours per month. So long as we propose good solutions and execute them well,

can-ban - very lightweight agile, that works well for

"Company of only 8 people, i'm the main developer. Does scrum work this small?"

We've struggled to get scrum to work on a $20,000 project [that is small], just not enough cycles.

Hard to get it to scale below $60,000 projects.
