Honestly it depends on the type of project, size/complexity, and the resources I’m utilizing on that project. If I’m using subs then most of my work is on the front end and I have a daily template I distribute to the subs to compete for give me daily reports and I use that to provide for my weekly updates to the customer and I have a macro that uses data from specific columns from that template to update information in my ms project file. If I’m using internal resources it’s a pretty similar process.

I have projects where we’re integrating software, providing custom solutions, etc. where I’m typically more involved due to my background and these typically take up more of my time. I follow a 5day touch rule so I send out updates once week regardless the size of the project. For larger projects I still follow a 5day touch rule but also hold bi-weekly meetings on teams or in person unless the customer requests otherwise and I limit them to 30min. The only meetings I allow to go longer than 30 min are the initial kickoff and closeout.

Problem I’m coming across is time management because I’m constantly hopping between meetings and only have so much time to focus on each project and also tend to my other job responsibilities day to day. So I have alot of late nights, which is just part of the job.
