I would do approval first and then book, sucks to pay change fees.

How about before you get on a project ? Just give them the heads up beforehand I assume so they can plan for that time ?

Yep the sooner they know the better. If the vacation is far out say 2 months+, remind them about it on and off. I have been in situations where I have vaca planned 6 months out and informed teams, but when the time comes..ppl act surprised.

If on a project, you have to get approval first. If not on a project, at the time, schedule when ever you want. Like M1 said, over communicate once you are booked on a project.

Add a calendar invite to your team indicating you will be out of office. That way it shows up and no one can forget about it. I just have the title as "My Name Out of Office", make of an all day event, and then make sure it marks everyone's time as "free".

I am project manager in clinical research industry (CRO). After earning PhD, I gave up my science dream to take a more stable job. After slowly climbing the ladders, I feel like I finally got a seat at the table. Half the days I like the hustle, but now I miss being creative. I want to take more brainstorming, decision making responsibilities but I don’t see that in the career path for PM. Career path usually goes like this- Sr PM, Director l, Sr Director, and so on. But all do same work.
