I was responsible for managing the projects from the very start (which includes their re-estimate or estimate refinement and planning phase) till project delivery to an end customer through all the phases of the project lifecycle. My main responsibilities were project planning, control over the “project triangle” (Scope/Budget/Timeline + Quality), risk management, extensive communication with client and team. I dealt with different types of projects: planning and spec writing, design, flash animation, html/css markup, PHP development and up to complete cycle of development starting from planning phase and spec writing and following up to further support for the finished product. Technically most of the projects I handled were PHP-based. I have relevant experience of writing specs and creating wireframes using Axure RP Pro. I took part in staff recruitment and selection for company PM department and for QA internship program. Due to my strong verbal and written communication skills a number of times I was entrusted with restoring damaged relations between the company and clients we had negative experience with.
