Project Management Professional with eight years delivering technology and operations projects of up to $6M. Runs Agile and Scrum teams across engineering and operations, with a record of 22 of 24 projects delivered on schedule and under budget.

A delivery record — 22 of 24 on schedule and under budget — is the most persuasive single line a project manager can write.

Bullets, before and after

The same work, described first the way most resumes do it, then the way this one does.

Before

After

Before

Responsible for risk management.

After

Built a risk management register that caught a vendor delay early and saved an estimated $400K.

An honest estimate (“an estimated $400K”) beats no number — and says how it was arrived at.
