At my previous company we used to have a separate schedule for PM tasks, and also for the Team Lead management tasks, and if working with a PMO, etc. All these are management type tasks (or sometimes the company thinks of them as "overhead"). When using EV or other metrics, then when run the schedule for these metrics the PM, etc. won't be included. Does anyone do it another way?
