$93,600 per year. Per PM.
Not on delivery. On admin.
Your team isn’t slow. They’re buried.
Let’s talk about the tax nobody budgets for.
@asana (13,000 knowledge workers surveyed):
→ 60% of their time is spent on “work about work.”
→ Not skilled work. Admin.
→ That’s 103 hours/year in unnecessary meetings.
→ 209 hours/year on duplicative work.
→ 352 hours/year just talking about work.
@Wrike (cited by
@Forbes):
→ 45% of project managers spend more than one day per week manually reporting status updates.
Wellingtone (State of Project Management Report):
→ 50% spend one day or more each month manually collating project status.
→ 47% don’t even have access to real-time KPIs.
PPM Express:
→ PMs spend 3–4 hours per week just writing status reports.
→ That’s 150 hours per year. Gone.
Add it up.
→ 24 hours a week. Per PM.
→ At $75/hr, that’s $93,600/year per person.
→ 10 PMs? $936,000
→ 25 PMs? $2.34 million
Burned.
Not on delivery. On admin.
This isn’t about laziness.
This is about tools that were never designed to connect.
→ Sure, Jira ‘integrates’ with Slack. But notifications aren’t intelligence.

→ Your status report is already outdated by the time you hit send.
Automation helps.
But automation without intelligence just does the wrong things faster.
That’s why I’m building
@ExecuteIQ
→ One unified context
→ Full project memory
→ Predictive intelligence that eliminates the admin tax, not just speeds it up
👉 Save this. Share it with your CFO.
Then tell me in the comments:
👉 What’s YOUR biggest admin time drain right now?
Because this cost is invisible on every P&L.
But it’s draining every team.
