Hello- Do you worry about having action items completed on time? Do you have projects that are stalled or underperforming? Do you need someone to act as an ambassador for your company with clients, internal and external? Do you need someone to guide and motivate your teams? These are the things I love managing and helping make come together on time. Program/Project Management is what I enjoy and am passionate about. Qualities that make me the ideal candidate are: • Driving to Success – Being the springboard to help others succeed is one of my best qualities. Part of that skill is seeing the end game and getting the team to that point. I have done that both during implementations and in the classroom. o “Jayne is a fantastic project manager with an excellent understanding of Agile methodologies. Jayne came on board our team to take over PM duties for a stalled project implementing Salesforce as our new CRM, and was able to quickly understand the business requirements/technology, scope the remaining work, and focus the team in order to see the project to a successful conclusion. Jayne is passionate about her work and would bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to any team looking for project management expertise.” SFDC/ERP Project, VP of Information Technology • Cross-functional leadership – Part of the joy I get is bringing people together to get great things done. Speaking to people in different roles with different communication styles and negotiating to ensure everyone’s wants and needs align. One CEO, a former prosecuting attorney who was not technical, lost faith in the stalled SFDC project and needed to understand how to proceed. After having the Dev team rescope the work, we created a new plan with a $5M budget, which aligned outputs, dates, and team members, which we released on time and on budget. o "Jayne is a talented and insightful project manager with an excellent grasp of Agile development methodologies. She immediately redirected our troubled Salesforce conversion project and got us to our go-live date. I highly recommend her for these types of conversion and implementation work." SFDC Project, Bruce, CEO o “Software development frequently implies different groups with different objectives trying to produce one product. Inherent in that is a conflict about what, when, and how things should be done. Jayne always helped manage the different objectives and agendas to drive the products toward a single, cohesive, and successful end result. That requires a tremendous amount of both attention to detail and patience, which can be hard to find in a single individual and that Jayne has in abundance. Jayne would be a great asset to any company needing someone that can step in and drive projects to successful completion.” Program Manager NetIQ position, Wes, Dev Lead • Intellectual Curiosity – The continued learning and certifications in various topics can evidence my desire to learn and grow. Some certifications I have attained include a Project Management and System Design from Cornell, a SCRUM Master Certification from ScrumStudy, a Regulatory Compliance Certification from the University of Pennsylvania, and Blockchain Revolution Certification from INSEAD. This attribute leads me to ask the right questions during a project to uncover potential pitfalls, allowing teams ample time to identify and mitigate risks. My varied experience in Project Management, Training, Instructional Design, and Sales brings a depth of information to your organization. Some of the industries and clients I have worked in include high-tech (both software and hardware development), cyber-security, e-commerce (both transactional sales and subscriptions), oil and gas, tax consulting, manufacturing, and education industries that bring a lot to the table. In addition to various industries, I have worked in startup environments, global teams, and reporting to managers at all levels locally and in other locations. Methodologies I am well versed in include Agile, Waterfall, and Stage-Gate using PMI methodologies. Additionally, I have taught college-level Government, World Cultures, Psychology, and Project Management skills using multiple applications in Education. Lastly, I have years of discovering risks, mitigating them, and completing projects on time and under budget while delivering high customer satisfaction. These skills I hope to bring to your programs and projects. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear from you in the near future.Strategic Planning
