Comment on What it is like being the only engineer in a meeting [video]

Awesome.. I have a similar situation regarding the project manager in the video :) we have a small team of 5 members and i don't think we need a "project manager" considering only 5 members working on a not-so-big project and the team members are efficient enough to self manage.

I dont think a small project with a small team even needs a project manager.

I was shocked when no one drew that lesson from our international corporate hackathon. We were cranking out impressive new products in less than twenty-four hours without a single PM.

Granted, it's a sprint requiring downtime afterwards and everyone was doing what they really wanted to do instead of their day jobs.

I'm in a team with exactly one developer and two project managers... Guess who I am?

You are frustrated :)

i think every member of that team should have a manager, and there should be a manager to manage all the managers...

I don't think every person needs manager infact management is only needed to "manage" and managing comes into play where there is a large number of "things"/"people" to manage or look after. Small number of educated ppl doing minor tasks will never need management.
