Managed, communicated and completed analysis on project requirements and
scope.
- Examined feasibility documents
- Created requirements and specification memos

- Managed project scope by creating change requests when needed
- Created test plans and reviewed test results
Results: The projects had the best solution for the budget. The project
stayed within scope and budget and the stakeholders were kept informed of
the project's status. Before implementation I ensured that the new process
would meet the business requirements and pass the user acceptance testing.

plans

ADMINISTRATOR
Converted the old database to a upgradable Access database
- Converted their old system to use an upgradeable Access Database. This
was needed because their old system had no way to have back-ups of the
data or the software.
- Created monthly, quarterly and year end contribution reports in Access
and presented them to the board and congregation.
- Took monthly backups and stored them on site and off site to make sure
the data was safe.
- Created the power point presentations that were used in the Worship
Service weekly.
Results: The church's data was safe and the software was upgradeable. The
quarterly reports were printed and distributed to the members on time with
correct totals as per the accountant.
