PROJECT MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE:

Responsible for managing a multi-million-dollar software development, infrastructure and operating systems upgrade. I managed the analysis of alternatives for hardware upgrades and the assessment of applications and operating systems running on these platforms. Manage software development activities and software development migration plans to ensure implementation of software upgrades occur within the information architecture without interfering with business operations. Used and implement TFS as part of the SDLC process, leading to efficiency in developing and sharing code. I lead a team of 50 people responsible for upgrading 35 servers, 7000 workstations and 560 software applications across multiple facilities reducing cost and schedule by 30%.

Managed the acquisition and technical requirements of major weapon systems for the Department of Defense including the Aegis Standard Missile, the missile defense C4ISR system, the Ground Bases midcourse defense system, the Chemical and Biological First responder information management system. I also managed major information management system upgrades including both network hardware and software for private industry.

Plan, organize, coordinate and administer work assignments by establishing program objectives, schedule, and cost. Working with the project team members to ensure they understand the project’s requirements, objectives and deadlines. Manage cost and schedule via Primavera, Microsoft Project and earned value management (EVMS). Have been successful delivering three systems under cost, saving an average 27% and 3-5 months ahead of schedule.

Continually review project status; identify any risks/issues, software metrics, and work on continuous process improvements. Manage risk by developing risk mitigation plans including: risk matrix, waterfall schedules, and corrective action plans. Software metrics used lines of code, function points, number of defects, and recoding. I have reduced software coding cycle time by 50% by implementing a virtual change process by managing defective code and recoding with the project’s software developers and documenting all functional and requirement changes on the project’s SharePoint.

One of my most important responsibilities is to interfaces and work with the team members and the customers to manage requirements and changes to the project’s technical requirements, business processes, cost and/or schedule through the entire lifecycle. One program I established a change review board consisting of project office management, subcontractor management and stakeholders, reducing a backlog of over 100 proposed changes in 5 months. Saving the program’s lifecycle cost over 1 billion dollars in rework.

Developed Basis of Estimates, Statement of Works, Request for Information (RFI) and Request for Proposals (RFP) for all government contract types (FFP, CPIF, CPAF, etc) with over 25 years for the Department of Defense and for the Progress Energy and Duke Energy merger. Responsibilities included preparing the SOW, RFP and/or RFI (if needed), the criteria in which proposal where to evaluated, conducting the technical and cost evaluations on the proposals received. Also developed proposals for Parson’s in response to RFPs, wining 4 out of 5 proposals submitted.
