Project manager in offshore engineering. Field notes on schedule recovery, project controls, and the gap between the plan and the work
About
PM Fieldnotes is a publication on running real projects. Written from the field, not from theory.
It covers schedule integrity, change management, distressed-project recovery, and the gap between formal artefacts and actual work; the kind of gap that shows up between a schedule and a plan, between a title and a job, between a credential and the work it certifies. The writing is grounded in offshore engineering and adjacent industrial work, but the patterns are general: most of what makes a project succeed or fail isn’t specific to any one industry.
Written for project managers, project controls leads and engineering managers who run actual programmes, particularly the ones tired of generic PM advice and interested in how the work goes when it doesn’t go to plan.
