Yes. Most of the work is not done in the DARPA building. Generally federal contractor sites. The daily work in the building is phone calls, reviewing papers, email, building powerpoint slides, and trying to come up with the next program. In my time, most PMs managed between 3 and 5 programs, some of their own creation, and some inherited from outgoing PMs (term limit + federal contracting timelines means generally the originating PM is not around to see a program through to its conclusion)
