How to estimate projects (and how not to)

Patrice has worked as a project manager for 2 decades, only she wasn’t always called one. From “relationship manager” to “interactive marketing manager” to straight-up “project manager”, she’s managed digital projects for eCommerce, financial services, pharmaceuticals/medical devices, and global service providers.
Patrice likes to focus her efforts on team building, communication, and dynamics, as well as process. But at her core, she just loves to manage projects. One of her most quoted sayings is “PMs don’t say yes or no, we offer options and consequences.”
When not managing projects at work, she’s managing projects at home, color coding household kanbans and setting deadlines for her husband, myriad kids, dog, and koi.
