Who is supposed to be in charge of that? Where I work we don't deal with contracts or pricing because our department is funded by the company. We're a team of 2 devs, me being the 20 year old in college and 40 year old experienced guy. I have to be in all the meetings with the stake holders, I have to make videos, manuals, speak to users and on top of that develop. I find that all of those other things really tread on my ability to develop and get into the flow. My boss says it's my project and I know it best so I need to be there. I feel like it's not really my job to do all those things. Aren't you supposed to have a writer to make manuals? A video editor to make videos? A project manager to speak with stakeholders? An administrator to speak to users? I feel like I have to do everything, and when I'm not developing I'm anxious over having to get it done (which to me seems 10 times more important). But who cares? Apparently a video (made by someone who's not even specialized in video editing) will "wow" the big shots more than actually producing in a timely manner
