Team Level Role

  • Playing a consultative role to put in place the appropriate people, process, and tools, to improve team efficiency and effectiveness
  • Coaching members of the team as needed to optimize the efficiency of the project team

Once you are here, you will:

Project Planning and Management

  • Define project scope and schedule while focusing on regular and timely delivery of value.
  • Organize and lead project status and working meetings.
  • Prepare and distribute progress reports.
  • Manage risks and issues; correct deviations from plans; and perform delivery planning for assigned projects.
