Project Manager
The key responsibility of the Project Manager is maintaining an open line of communication with the stakeholders while guiding business supporting projects on time and within budget to success.
A Project Manager is tasked to create an environment in which the goals and objectives of the business client can efficiently be met. For your corporate project, I will assist in clarifying your requirements into a plan, provide resource leadership, manage execution and change control of that plan and resolve interim conflicts.
Key Benefits
- Hiring a contract Project Manager will allow your business to maintain your organizational structure without overburdening them with new roles and responsibilities relative to a temporary assignment.
- Hiring a contract Project Manager puts experience, training and skills in place that can plan, execute and successfully close a project in a minimum of time. This will eliminate the learning curve normally required for employees to assemble a project.
- Hiring a contract Project Manager who can negotiate conflicts and turbulence during a project, allows the business units to focus hostilities on the Project Manager and maintain internal relationships.
Reference Examples
- I have been able to step into the shoes of outgoing Project Managers who have left their posts in the beginning of long term projects and assemble pertinent information and cooperation. Marathon Oil and Unilever Scripting projects both had this situation.
- At Unilever, the contractor who was the Project Manager, left due to his incompatibility with the clients. I was serving as a scripting engineer under this Project Manager and moved into his position to pick up the responsibility. I was able to repair misconceptions held by the end users and client leadership to a state where the project could proceed to subsequent milestones.This project needed more structure and definition to the process and communication of the same to the stakeholders and their subordinates. I documented the full life-cycle process and provided roles and responsibility outlines using a combination of Visio, MS Project 98, MS Excel and narrative in MS Word. In concert with the Program Manager, and with his buy-in, we were able to gain much needed consensus and participation.
I also assembled an all encompassing Access database to provide an end-to-end tool to gather and distribute application requirements to the various parties and teams involved.
- Midway through the project, resources were outsourced from digital India and brought to the US for training and hands on experience. I assembled the documentation required and taught these technicians Wise scripting techniques and best practices. Also, integrated into this training was the unique structure of this clients standard desktop image.
