I’m a project manager, and always have been at heart. Despite tha fact that I have worked as an english teacher for a long time. Exploring different ways of communicating has always been one of my primal interests. By learning a different language from my own I discovered at a very young age the variety of world views that co-exist among us. Having transitioned into software project management from an English teaching background makes a lot of sense right now - my experience shows that language classroom skills translate into project management very well.I have a lot of experience conducting group and individual classes. These require meticulous preparation, an agenda, timeboxing, and activities tailored to the specific needs of the students. Conducting the class itself demands intense focus to stay in tune with the interactions within the group and the progress of the individuals. Very often, something unexpected renders our initial plans obsolete, and we need to improvise to keep the show running. Exactly what happens when you are using agile methodologies in this field.As a project manager, I facilitate all sorts of meetings, from daily status checks, through weekly or biweekly planning & review sessions, up to custom workshops whose variety is endless.I’ve always been much better at managing big-picture projects and teams of individuals. Today, I’m managing a portfolio of web development projects for Automatips S.A.S, and I’m finally realizing my true potential.
