You run around like a chicken with their head cut off trying to get status updates to update your action items and decisions -- you end up just annoying the client because you're bugging them that they have to get things done on time, pressure from both sides, basically a paper pusher/record keeper

PMO is the worst. Total overkill and nothing but pushing paper.

Nobody cares about project management when things are going well, everyone complains about not having good project managers when things are going poorly. It's unfortunately such a thankless job. But as a non-PM, leave me alone. I have better things to do than to log work papers because you can't find them...

I hate this job, it just doesn’t fit my style.

My philosophy is to be as brief, to the point and no-nonsense as possible. Better, easier and cheaper for the client, and less hassle for me. I’m an efficient guy.

However, partners tell me I need to write more both in volume and detail, and that my hours are low.

When I send stuff to clients, they are happy, and most of my clients contact me directly. Seems partners worry about my style not amassing enough hours, not that it’s not good enough

For a project, I would like to program something with a back end and a front end. It should be easy and focused especially on analytics. This is what I wish the tool would do:
- import excel/csv configuration table
- calculation & analytics (sas/r/python style)
- export csv
- allow for visuals (bar charts etc.)
- it should work on/ offline and should be able to be executable without having specific software installed

I was thinking R shiny style. Do you have suggestions/ ideas where to start?
