What industry and software are they using?

So basically a data load into an AS400 based manufacturing system like MAPICS or BPCS.

SAP and Oracle generally have free available guides on how their software works which is a more practical overview than a ppt theoretical document.

This is all legacy systems so the ultimate use case would be a migration to a new software and ideally a cloud based planning solution. Auto/industrial generally uses SAP but best of breed aren’t uncommon.

SAP, Infor, and Blue Yonder are all cloud available now. Oracle has a cloud but partners are far more limited. Kinaxis really doesnt seem to have solid cloud footing but is a solid platform if setup and integrated well.

My boss assigns projects with unclear expectations and provides no guidance on how to achieve them.

I've asked for help, and, to avoid a long post, she expects me to figure it out. Perhaps you go through this too, but when I don't have a clear guide on completing big projects, it paralyzes me because I don't know where to start. On top of that, I have anxiety, so "it has to be perfect".

How do you approach projects when your boss plays the "guess what's in my head" game?
