  • Recently, I encountered my first experience not meeting a deadline in industry due to underestimating the time needed to complete the task. The task was to obsolete a product line which should have taken around a week for me to complete. However, my project manager and I did not take into account the time needed for the document to get approved from document control. Document control by policy is given at least four days to review your document and get back to you with a response. Then after the four days you have to make edits to the document and resubmit it to document control. The project manager in this case should have taken into account the four day policy for document control to review the document. The project manager should have also taken into account that document control will most likely reject the document on its first submission. This would have allowed me two weeks to complete the document record for obsoleting the product line.
