TGIF! Do any Project Managers have a 1:1 meeting with CD’s? Weekly or Monthly? Every company is different as well as the expectations. TYIA

I don’t have formal meetings other than a weekly status with the full team, but I talk with my CDs on an ongoing basis…daily. With the Chief Creative it depends on how busy he is, but usually at least 1x weekly.

Scheduled weeklies but happens 1-2 times a month in practice. If there is a conversation (hallway or scheduled) that needs to happen outside of that, we find the time.

If you want to be besties with your CD, yes

Yes. Weekly to make sure team is aligned and working. Same thing with architect/tech director

Thanks it might be different for Directors. I have 8 years under my belt & haven’t worked at a company where the PM or SPM met with the CD’s. I have multiple. Besties? The way companies lay off freelancing helps with being less invested & WLB. Thanks 🙏

Scheduled weekly. Along with the full team statuses. But it's an opportunity for me to connect with them on project assignments and blockers I am seeing along with what they may be hearing from the team that could result in changes to the plans. It's an opportunity to build rapport with them and become a trusted partner. So when things go sideways they included you as part of figuring out the path forward. You guys are in it together.
