Need Help With Managing IT Projects

I have worked in the software development arena for much of my life and as a Project Manager/Lead for the past 20 years. English is my first language and I have excellent communication skills. My expression of complex ideas, articulation of desired workflow and production have been tested over time and have been proven effective. I own and operate a small solution development house and have expert staff that meet the needs of our clients through my direction. I am not a fly by night operation and can meet the demanding requirements of any size task. You asked two specific questions in your project which I will directly respond to in theoretic context. First - how would I handle and inexperienced developer. There are many ways to handle an inexperienced developer depending on many situations of the project and team. While many times it may be desired to train and nurture growth in the team member, if the opportunities allow for it. There are also situations when the team and project cannot afford to carry this type of developer along. Both of these could be the correct response but it would depend on the bigger picture. Secondly, you ask about how to handle an irate customer. The first step here is to gain the trust of the customer and make it clear that you are there to support them. Gaining an understanding of their concerns, fears and perspective will help you shape the team in ways that will incorporate the support of the customer. They ARE THE EXPERTS on whatever it is that is being developed. It is the responsibility of the team (the whole team) to continually express the importance of the customer in the process. I understand that not all projects are the best for all people. I seek win/win scenarios and would like the opportunity to discuss this further with you. What type of project is it? What technologies are in place? Are we starting from scratch? Part of my usual familiarity with a project is to understand the goals of the client? Goals need to be measurable so we can measure our level of success. I would love the opportunity to dive into this further with you. Please let know how you would like to take the next step. Thank you once again for the opportunity. Jeff Rosenthal

I have 8 years of experience in similar profile. Hands on experience in IT and technology management. Please consider.

I'm interested in your project, because of my deep experience and academic knowledge in project management (ie. PRINCE2 Parctitioner, Agile Scrum, etc.). I work as a PM since 2001. Currently I prepare my Ph.D. in area of IT Agile Project Management. More information you can find on my profile. If you have any additional question, don't hesitate to contact with me.

Hi, I've responded to your overview below >> Project Manager experience; at least three years. Experience managing web development projects or working with developers given priority. >> I have 12 years experience most recently as a department head at a Telecommunications department with one of my teams, that I previously managed directly, the Web Development and Operations team. During my tenure I not only managed the team directly but a large number of outsource partners to ensure successful project delivery for both internal an external facing web solutions. >> I hold Prince II and PMI certification. Be fluent in English. >> Although I currently live in Cambodia, purely from a lifestyle perspective, I hail from New Zealand a native English speaking country (although we do spell some words a bit differently to the US (e.g. organisation vs organization). Excellent oral and written communication (no mistakes in email communication with you). >> I excel at both written and oral communication. Experience with customers, especially negotiating and upselling given a priority. >> Whilst in my previous role I managed a number of blue chip suppliers (to the tune of 45mNZD in OPEX), IBM, HP, Unisys to name a few. Although I wasn't up selling (as I was on the customer side) I certainly learnt the art through their attempts to up sell me! Be available for occasional discussions over the phone between 10am-3pm PST. >> That works out to be late evening my time so no problem. Familiar with Web technologies and platforms. >> I was instrumental in moving my previous organisation to opensource technologies so I am considerably more experienced with Linux type platforms. However we also housed a number of Win servers so it would be fair to say I have experience right across the various web/app and DB stack. My client's vision is to be professional at all times. To do that, any IT project manager must be able to handle any situation to meet his project's budget and deliver the finished project on time. Please provide a few instances on how you would handle an inexperienced developer or an irate customer. >> First and foremost you must objectively understand the situation. From here a number of options are available to you. Let's use the example where the client is concerned about the attitude of the developer. In this instance I would understand the reasons why and discuss with the developer what we (as we're a team - very important point) can do to address this situation. I would then check in with the client on a regular basis to ensure that progress was being made. Include anything you feel will help you stand out from the crowd. >> I understand how to make business relationships successful whilst building high performing teams. Regards, Dave Gordon
