I learned how to do proper project management by doing everything wrong at an internship during my college years.

The main stakeholder was always busy and in meetings, so I would mostly clock-in and clock-out after having waited outside the meeting room for hours while coding on what we had agreed upon on a very hurried 15 minute meeting months ago.

After 6 months of not having meetings, and having no access to any data, specifications, or feedback, the end result was a glorified Lorem Ipsum placeholder of a forum with a chat applet on the sidebar that I'm relieved didn't ever go live.
