I transformed one struggling group into an effective, reliable, and predictable agile team who routinely met their objectives without exceeding their budget. During this time, the platform they supported became reliable and was enhanced with several new features and integrations. I reported data-driven monthly progress directly to the CEO and senior executives. I have coached many CIS Program Managers on tradition, hybrid, and agile methodologies. All the programs I coached routinely hit their key objectives quarter after quarter. I collaborated with the Project Management Office to help establish a project management database, establish project management standards, and project reporting standards, including progress to plan, financial reporting, risk management and quality assurance. I am helping to propagate these standards across CIS. I helped establish agile portfolio tools and introduce quarterly planning. I facilitated and trained employees on all aspects of agile program management. Show less
