A big project with lots of people and moving parts that doesn't need each individual tracking their own status and needs because the Project Manager is keeping everything up to date and keeping the Senior Managers off your back is invaluable.

Go Live was buttery smooth. We were all in and out by lunch, even after having to address a hang up on the fly.

Good project managers are worth their weight in gold

Both project managers at my company quit at the same time, so they're spreading the workload to engineering instead of rehiring.

It has not been going well. Turns out the PMs were doing actual work.
