For the last 7 years I have worked in the IT Department initially as the

Program Manager for the development and implementation of a new enterprise

wide cost system and then as the Manager of Application Support/Business

Analyst for all of the global Project Controls tools and lastly as the Sr.

Business Analyst for the new cost system. As the Program Manager I was

responsible for identifying the user requirements, presenting the

justification to senior management for the new application, writing the

functional specification, reviewing the technical design specifications,

overseeing the development effort and cost and schedule control and earned

value reporting for the project. I also participated in the technical

design reviews and attended the weekly development team meetings as well as

traveling to India to meet with the development team. I also developed the

test scripts for the initial release, participated in the integration

testing, set up and ran the initial user acceptance test (UAT), set up and

ran all of the initial training sessions with the users and wrote the user

manual for the new application. While in the Application Support

Manager/Business Analyst role I worked with the users to identify new

requirements as well as bug fixes, prepared the necessary functional

specifications for the subsequent releases, developed the test scripts for

and set up and ran all of the UAT's, coordinated the resolution of any

issues identified during the UAT's and wrote the user release notes for

each release. At management's request I later focused just on the business

analyst role. In that role I worked with the users to identify new

requirements, required bug fixes, proposed packaging and prioritization of

releases from both a technical and functional standpoint and continued to

prepare test scripts run the UAT's and write the user release notes. I also

have 30 years of experience in project management and project controls both
