I’ve met very few people whose job is “project management” that I believe can manage to do the most basic of daily tasks without having to have 5 meetings about it. Followed up by a post mortem meeting on how they could more efficiently manage to waste even more of the actual talents time.
The only competent project managers I ever worked with were Systems Engineers, and that was because they were technically knowledgeable and capable of actually making a decision based on that technical knowledge.
Everyone I've met with a PMP cert has been worse than useless.
About the same experience. The only person I know that I like to work with in project management is a guy who used to actually do the work we do and got into project management because he was sick of morons running things.
