Overall, I really enjoy working with this PM, but he goes overboard and idk if it’s me or if it’s him. If it’s me, I’ll absolutely correct myself.

For background, my company is fundamentally lacking as far as project governance and standardization. We are not aligned at all. They don’t even know how they want BA/PM to work together, so with all this my company handles projects case by case. I am also a new BA but I have been in corporate for some time and have worked with VP and above for over 5 years.

So we have been assigned a big project regarding process and i agree that you need to zoom out to ensure you’re not causing issues in other tasks before and after and look into impact on other departments.

It feels like he’s zooming out to 250% percent and a million sub projects just got created but are not aligned with the original scope. I don’t want to come off like I don’t want to do extra work and not be efficient but those are separate projects that need a business case, brd etc and I think my boss will wonder more why we are not just focused on our project scope.

It almost comes off as ADHD , but then I think is this how it should be and my limited skillset is showing?

It’s becoming overwhelming because it feels like we go off the rails and I also don’t have the skillset to know what right looks like.
