I just wanted to say that you have all done a fantastic job and without all of your hard work this would not have gone so well. Everyone here has put forth a great effort to make sure this change has gone as smoothly as possible.

"Hey guys, I know its been a hard push for this project and you guys have been working a lot of long hours. I just really wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work." - Dumb gently caress PM who caused a huge ordering backup due to not knowing the difference between CAT3 24AWG and CAT6E.

gently caress PMs who were never techs.

you can't. literally. by definition your job is to be the poo poo-filter between the upper-crust c-levels, the clients, and the dirty proles. your job is to be the enemy and take all the flak.

i'm assuming you're defining 'best' as 'good for the ones under you' because you're bothering to ask.

anyways here you go:

- don't promise anything before consulting the guy who'll be doing the work beforehand
- if you have to ask 'when will this be done' more than a few times you should be looking to get more resources not bothering the few you have
- don't second-guess any professionals unless you have a degree in their field. even then you probably shouldn't

As project manager, I know what a conversion is in the context of "something a bank does."
Our business is really taking off this quarter, thanks to this conversion.
Good job team.
