He possess expertise in agile methodologies, program management, project management, agile project management, cross functional team leadership and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Bill was an effective manager at 360 Powered corporation. One reason I say this is because of the weekly check-in meetings he held with each of his reports. During these meetings we set goals and objectives for the week, and made sure that the work being accomplished was on track with the direction of the company. I felt like I knew where I stood with him, and if I had issues, questions or suggestions he was always available to listen. He looked out for the people that reported to him and was good at communicating information from higher management. He was not willing to let poor quality work slide and I recall he had to fire one employee because of her poor performance. I'd be happy to work for and with Bill Schaefer again!" and "Bill possess a wonderful blend of project management and people management. During my time with Bill, I found him to be adept at both tactical and strategic level projects and discussions. I was consistently impressed with Bill's interpersonal skills and his ability to motivate and drive a project team forward to meet deadlines and deliverables. Bill has a keen understanding of personality types and knows when to press and when to lighten up on project teams. Bill's ability to use humor as a tool to build teams and lighten the stress points is a thing of beauty. The best recommendation that I can give is, that if I had an open position, I would hire Bill Schaefer to work with me again."
