GlennR Jul 2018 3:25pm, 6 Jul 2018 36,477 posts	Quote Pin GlennR When we get to that level we don't even bother giving them alternative, recognisable job titles. At least I don't have to describe myself as Senior Assistant Registrary when I meet normal people.
GregP Jul 2018 3:31pm, 6 Jul 2018 104,287 posts	Quote Pin GregP If it helps internally I'm a DSO (Development and Support Officer). It's a nonsense term for a civvie-skipper analyst/PM crossover with no direct reports.
GregP Jul 2018 3:33pm, 6 Jul 2018 104,289 posts	Quote Pin GregP PMO, sorry, not PM. I have some self respect.
GlennR Jul 2018 3:45pm, 6 Jul 2018 36,480 posts	Quote Pin GlennR I should hope so. Alan, the guy sitting next to me, is Strategic Projects Manager.
GregP Jul 2018 3:48pm, 6 Jul 2018 104,291 posts	Quote Pin GregP Do the 'Strategic' and extra 's' give him a pass or do you shun him like a leper?
GlennR Jul 2018 3:57pm, 6 Jul 2018 36,484 posts	Quote Pin GlennR He's actually one of a painfully small number of people here with the proper experience to see through big construction projects.
GregP Jul 2018 3:58pm, 6 Jul 2018 104,294 posts	Quote Pin GregP A PM who's actually managed more than a $250k software upgrade? Rare indeed.
Oscar the grouch Jul 2018 10:26pm, 6 Jul 2018 720 posts	Quote Pin Oscar the grouch I am the 'Community and Client Services Manager'. No. Neither do I.
