About Brian Rose

Rose Project Solutions is always looking for clients that are a good fit. My journey into technology started 35 years ago on a Commodore PET where I learned to program in Basic. I have broadened my horizons since then. As a QA manager, Certified Project Manager and Certified Scrum Master, I’ve had the good fortune of supporting and coaching teams in a variety of industries. Partnering with everyone from start-ups to big corporations, I’ve enjoyed many experiences: Coaching Quality Assurance/test teams, creating a Test Center of Excellence, project management, establishing a PMO, client engagement & account management, resource management and sales. I really enjoy working with both human and technical aspects of organizations listening to their "pain points" and identifying a solution. Core Strengths: • Client engagement and account management • Coaching teams to be awesome• Certified Project Manager and Scrum Master• Adapting to the business – Agile, waterfall etc. • Project & Program management • Monitoring earned value against the plan, schedule or sprint. • Collaborating with in-house, onshore & offshore test teams to “make it work”• Adapting my enterprise mindset to a new cloud-based, continuous delivery world. • Banking, K-12, ERP, brokerage, cheque processing, remittance and statements.• Large scale cloud migration initiatives. •
