Conducted a Microsoft Project Server maturity & methodology assessment to gain an understanding of a Health Care organization’s current baseline state of portfolio and project management use of Microsoft Project Server and SharePoint Server. From this, I provided a 1 year roadmap to increase maturity in functional domains leveraging this technology. Domains of focus included Demand Management, Portfolio Selection & Analytics, Resource Management, Schedule Management, Project Financial Management, Time Tracking, Risk/Issue Management, Business Intelligence & Reporting and Program Management. I was responsible for the management of a team of 5 resources organized into a scrum team to deliver incremental value to the organization.
