Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm not saying this for all instances. Maybe I've been fortunate. 100% of project managers I've worked alongside looked for parallel paths, and that's their job. But once the feedback from tech SME is that these are linear dependencies, they said okay. Let's move to discuss how to communicate this to leadership and customer.
My personal experience. Your mileage obviously may vary greatly. But a PM that doesn't understand the mythical man month, isn't much of a PM. Or even a competent team member.
The story I shared was from a terrible PM.
I've had great PMs and they understood their role well. Their job was to help communicate to the stakeholders what's needed and why it's taking so long.
They are far few in between. But when you have a good one, you can't imagine your life without one.
