Managed the delivery of WAN Core upgrade project (approx.$3.1M) and resultant stages for the Roads Traffic Authority. It also required that some RTA branches had to be re-scoped.Worked with three Project Managers in the RTA with additional project teams on a stage per stage basis. The solution design was to take the current network and transform it into a redundant network.Previously the Project had failed and I was brought on to make the second attempt – which was successful.
