Lead Project Manager overseeing the development of over ~1600 courses with a cumulative ~$15mm budget. Responsibilities included managing a team of 45+ authors, editors, Instructional Designers, Informational Analysts and Quality Control team members. I assisted in determining scope, cost, resources, and schedules for multiple projects at a time. I created and delivered to executive level management weekly reporting for budget and all project statuses. I am skilled in the development and refinement of project plans specifying goals, resource allocation, scheduling, and identification of risks & their contingency plans and, as needed, process improvement. I am comfortable managing changes to project scopes, utilizing JIRA and Smartsheet to communicate those shifts and ensuring each resource is being used to their full allocation. I measured project performance using appropriate tools and techniques, identified and quantified any budget variances, performed any required corrective actions, and communicated to all stakeholders. In instances where errors surfaced in a course that impacted the user experience, I engaged and worked closely with engineers to troubleshoot and provide resolution in a timely manner. If a project required features that cannot be created in-house, I have engaged third party vendors, created Statements of Work, facilitated training, documented deliverables, and verified billing details.
