Project Management

Software projects fail for many reasons, but rarely because of the technology itself. Poor planning, unclear requirements, and lack of coordination are far more common culprits. I help teams deliver successfully by bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to their projects.

What I Offer

Project Planning

Transform vague ideas into concrete, actionable plans. I help define scope, identify dependencies, allocate resources, and create realistic timelines that account for the unexpected.

Agile Coaching

Whether you’re adopting Scrum, Kanban, or a hybrid approach, I help teams implement agile practices that actually work. No dogma, just pragmatic methods adapted to your context.

Delivery Management

Keep projects on track with regular progress monitoring, risk management, and stakeholder communication. I identify blockers early and help remove them before they become critical.

Requirements Analysis

Bridge the gap between business needs and technical implementation. I work with stakeholders to capture requirements clearly and ensure the development team understands what they’re building and why.

My Approach

I believe in lightweight processes that serve the team, not the other way around. Every project is different, so I adapt my methods to fit your organization’s culture, team size, and project complexity.

Key principles:

  • Transparent communication with all stakeholders
  • Early and continuous delivery of working software
  • Regular retrospectives to improve continuously
  • Focus on outcomes, not just outputs

Project Phases

  1. Discovery - Understand the problem, stakeholders, and constraints
  2. Planning - Define scope, create roadmap, establish success metrics
  3. Execution - Manage sprints, track progress, remove blockers
  4. Delivery - Coordinate releases, ensure quality, gather feedback
  5. Retrospective - Analyze what worked, document lessons learned

Why Work With Me

With hands-on experience in both technical and management roles, I understand the challenges from multiple perspectives. I’ve led projects ranging from small MVPs to large-scale enterprise initiatives, always with a focus on delivering real value rather than just completing tasks.

How can we support you?

Just send me a message or give me a call. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
