Nice name:"bureau of follow up and coordination".
There should have been [and probably was] a Directorate of Coordinating the Management and another rival Directorate of Managing the Coordination. And in real life I once had a co-worker with the job title "Manager of Project Management". We called him "MPM". Now he probably is MPMPM.

That seems like it means nothing or even sounds redundant, but it's just bad job titling. The proper title would have been "Director, Project Management"...then it makes total sense.

I should know too; I was a Director of Project Management at one of the largest insurance companies in the U.S. And, unfortunately, that title is decieving. I still had 3 more "rungs" above me before it rose to the executive level (Exec VP).

But, what do you call someone who manages Project Managers?

Unforunately, the bad titling just sounds like a Bud-Light "Real men of genius" commerical, "Here's to you Mr. Project Management...Manager..."

Anyway, I guess it just shows how titles cloud up the issues sometimes.
