About Patrick Mcmonagle

IT leader seeks role of:Product Owner, Project Manager or Business Analyst- Yes, those are (usually) different duties- They require a difference emphasis on the same skill set:Customer service, Negotiation (business process, interpersonal and technical), Leadership (by fiat or example), Curiosity (a "requirement" fills what needs?), Teamwork, Result tracking/reporting and Integrity.I have been fortunate, or perhaps unfortunate, enough to been assigned dozens of "software" projects which would fix a failing business process by creating new programs. In most cases I succeeded by using the design "requirements" to illustrate where the business process was failing. When the process was healthy, much less software was needed. Thus; my excellent on-time & under budget reputation. Short examples two 7 month projects, one delivered in 5 weeks, the other in 3+ months, for different major corporations.The extreme example: As an independent, once turned a 6 month software contract, with a friend's business, into one billable day. I led his company's once profitable parts business to become competitive again by persuading my friend to listen to his clerks and chop two days off the product delivery cycle with a paperwork reduction and better use of the software they already owned. Opportunities like this will be common as secure transactions, like Blockchain, reduce task time and effort. An obvious example; why spend much time counting the $20s at the end of a shift? Less obvious is the world wide reduction in auditing cash reports. When tasks like these are spread across a major organization, they become harder to spot.As an independent, teaming directly with customers, provided 6 years of 24 hour, 6 day a week support to 3 to 5 clients, while making major software enhancements. During that time, averaged 1 unexpected off-hours call every 89 days.Clients: insurance, retirement, education, payroll, distribution and manufacturing.

  • Salmon Terminals
    Is Manager
    Salmon Terminals Jun 2000 - Present
    Auburn Wa
    Grew corporate skills and abilities. IT is now a part-time (less than 4 hours per week) department. Managed 2000-01 conversion, mini-computer to Windows; conversion design, schedule, budget negotiation, software environment selection, vendor selection, systems purchase, network & electrical installation, test verification, and end user training. Effort included a complete rebuild of the computer facility. Delivered success on-time and slightly under the $260K budget. (Salmon Terminals had attempted this conversion 3 times prior to 2000 & spent over $3 million on 3 failures.)Relocated IT in 2006 company move. Created new computer & phone facility, upgraded server, created new network and upgraded software to allow uninterrupted manufacturing, shipping & receiving. Reduced my full time IT position to less than 4 hours per week while reducing the office staff effort 17% by:- Simplifying processes on the "edge" of IT and better training end users. Especially made common error conditions easier to understand and correct. - Observing processes based on now obsolete technical or business rules and updating them. Abandoned much "that's the way we have always done it", with few tears shed.- Refactoring code to eliminate technical reasons for incomplete adoption of new requirements. Reduced time needed to fix defects.- Eliminating all software defects which had, in the past, required frequent IT intervention.- Enabling transfer of data to and from customers with effective security. Upgraded the "edges" of our applications to Windows. (The core of our software is still COBOL, now a COBOL III object oriented dialect.)These roles are my responsibility:- Manager: hardware, software, network, consultants- Project Manager (cross functional teams, including customers and vendors)- Systems Analyst- Business Analyst- DeveloperSought by Salmon Terminals due to past experiences including training in '84 and customer support in '87-'88.

  • Omega-Tav
    System Architect
    Omega-Tav Jun 2002 - May 2003
    On Contract To Premera In Mountlake Terrace, Wa
    All dates are approximate, project done in two separate phases. Total on-contract time for 2 project phases was between 6 and 7 months.An emergency described: Premera / Blue Cross health insurance ran a legacy system which printed computer generated benefit booklets for client employees. The legacy system was scheduled for replacement in 2 weeks and a 70% layoff of a data re-entry staff was in progress when a regulation change by the WA Insurance Commission made the replacement software non-compliant. The legacy system was grandfathered and compliant.In 2 weeks; designed and implemented emergency changes to the legacy system to read a not yet used XML feed from the Underwriting system. This data populated the batch edit screens of the legacy system and allowed over 90% of the booklets to be produced without human intervention. Tasks included modifying the program generator and creating a new XML parser. These changes allowed the 70% staff reduction to proceed as scheduled. For Phase II, returned to increase the automation level. Statistics gathered since Phase I proved over 95% of the booklets needed no human review. The result; the once common 3 month printing delay, after policy renewal, was reduced to less than a week. (Salmon Terminals renewed just after Premera made this change so I assure you that customer reaction was positive.)Supported the coming replacement software implementation, a MS SQL database generating Word documents using Word Macros. These Word Macros had to be customized, my task.
