My role in the project is as a project contributor with direct oversight and handling of the entire project from beginning to end. After defining the project scope with other project contributors, gathering requirements and identifying stakeholders such as citizens and colleagues, I developed a project plan and schedule for the project which I executed through communication and documentation. I assessed the results to ensure quality according to the scope and managed any needed changes. After completing any given part of the project, I would archive any related documents, verify requirements completion, measure stakeholder satisfaction and obtain final acceptance of deliverables.
