| Sep 10, 2012 at 19:02 | comment | added | Kent | +1 @DavidKaczynski's original comment on this. Additional thoughts: 1. The boss was soft-selling the time commitment on the PM aspect in order to get msc to take the job. Or 2. He wants msc to fail. I don't want to get into the conspiracy stuff. But 1-2 hours a week for a new PM for a project that is already in trouble? No one with any experience would take that seriously. msc: Your first step: get your boss to allow more time per week in the PM role. | |

| Sep 10, 2012 at 15:51 | comment | added | David Kaczynski | @Zsolt Thank you for pointing that out. I have to stretch my imagination pretty far to think of why a boss would sabotage a project like that. Either way, the boss needs to understand the under-commitment of resources in this case. | |

| Sep 10, 2012 at 15:03 | comment | added | jmort253 | @TiagoCardoso - The "3 advices" question never should have gone as far as it did. That question was a clear poll, whereas I feel like this one constitutes a real problem to be solved. If there's anything valuable in that other question that applies to this case, feel free to bring that answer here or use it as inspiration. :) | |
| Sep 10, 2012 at 15:02 | comment | added | Zsolt | @DavidKaczynski maybe he was in a position so that he had to promote someone. I've learned that people don't want to make projects fail. If they do, they are really mean and they have better tactics than promoting a rookie. | |

Clarify OPs title and retrofit for the Q&A format. Adjust question to avoid closing as a tutorial request/

| Sep 10, 2012 at 12:39 | comment | added | Tiago Cardoso | I could give you some advises, but I believe this topic covers most of them: pm.stackexchange.com/questions/4646/… Thinking of it, wouldn't be this question a dup (at some level) of that question? | |
| Sep 10, 2012 at 11:51 | comment | added | David Kaczynski | Your boss puts someone with no management experience in charge of a project that is not progressing well and also limits the new manager's involvement to a maximum of two hours per week. This leads me to believe that for some reason your boss wants this project to fail. | |
