I am a Senior Project Manager who has expertise in Project Portfolio Management and Business Analysis. I have expertise managing both public and private sector projects ranging to $3.2M, implementing PMO standards and artifacts, and leveraging software systems such as Team Foundation Server to manage testing and test results.I am an unusual project manager in that I have extensive real-world senior operations management experience combined with multi-phased, multi-platform software implementation expertise in a variety of industries and in the public sector. I have worked with both COTS and custom web-based systems in industries such as manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, warehousing and distribution logistics, finance, document imaging and management, retail in-home services, insurance, and more.I enjoy a reputation for being able to learn a software system quickly enough to provide valuable input early on in a project, as noted in some of the recommendations below. I have successfully managed many projects that started from needs assessment and RFP development for my clients through completion. However, the projects where I feel I have had the greatest impact are those where the project was at risk of failing and I was able to recover it with an acceptable impact to cost or the timeline. I believe the reason for my success in this area is because I like to solve problems and have a talent for listening to my customers and understanding their needs.Specialties: Project Management, Business Analysis, Business Process Engineering, Needs Assessment, IT Project Management, Operations Management, Operational Assessment, Operational Enhancement, Accela Government Software, Documentum, OpenText Suite including Process 360, StreamServe, StoryTeller, Document Manager, URS/FRS Development, Test Script Development, Operational Process Design.
