When deadlines and designs collide

Ever had that moment where you realize the design you worked so hard on doesn’t comply with local regulations? I had to rework an entire infrastructure plan three days before submission. It’s either a comedy of errors or just another day in the life of a project manager.

Sounds like you had a real-life game of regulatory dodgeball! Maybe next time, a quick check against the codes before diving into design could save you some headaches. Ever thought about building a compliance checklist?
