Every week, your PM team burns 80 hours building slides instead of managing projects. That's $312,000/year in labor you're not tracking.
5 PMs × 4 hours/week on presentations = 80 hours of wasted capacity
Your PMs are building slides at 9 PM on Thursdays because their days are full of actual project work. They just don't complain to you about it.
This isn't sustainable. The best PMs are already thinking about leaving. The others are just disengaging quietly.
Once for their PM salary. Again for them to do work a $29/month tool could do in 60 seconds. Finance would call that waste.
Because they're afraid it sounds like complaining
I spend more time formatting slides than analyzing risks. But if I say that, they'll think I can't handle my workload.
I've missed bedtime with my kids three weeks in a row because of status decks. But it's 'just part of the job,' right?
I know there's a better way to do this, but every time I bring up tools, I'm told there's no budget.
If leadership actually saw how we spend our time, they'd be horrified. But they only see the final slides.
Your PMs will thank you. They just can't ask you themselves.
