Management of the contract, planning, costs, outsourcing, deliveries to the customer Management of the technical work, from technical choices to equipment integration Sub-tier management

Coordination of design, implementation and run of a Desktop as a Service solution. Stakeholder management, costs estimation and control. Close activity monitoring and regulation to manage program barriers, such as teams from different sites across various skill domains. In-house Project Management Information System with full report focusing on project buffer management (Eliyahu Goldratt critical chain management). Development involving business project teams and local IT representatives (the users), IT project teams, and IT Service Management.

Migration project. IT architecture driven project with many management unlocks. Fast track schedule setup on site, involving IT Security, network, front desk support. Accomodation of foreign hosting infrastructure to fit all kind of business development (MCO on-going business, co-development over several business sites, new business).

Project of insourcing the development from Lisbon. On-site work flow and work data analysis. New work process implementation to speed up tool delivery by 30 percent. Coordination of all data and knowledge transfers to Paris. In-house development setup.

Team management implementing patterns of Scrum practices. This helped reinforce a sense of team, support improvement and define a complete initial roadmap. Portfolio management of 5 main 2-4 year projects. Team of 5 project managers. Broad based deployment of new business information system (V model development practices and product change management) on customer projects. Gain of up to 30 percent on both schedule and cost.

Team trainings on main development aspects (requirements, testing, reporting). Analysis of program milestones and implementation of corrective actions (standards update, core software business office creation to match program goals, collaboration of mixed teams). Software engineering best practices implementation : software configuration control board workflow tuning for agile development and continuous controlled improvement. Plans updated with new program management baselines (requirements, tests, configuration, quality, costs). Aircraft manufacturer milestones achieved.

Projects coordination over several fields of expertise from the development to the industrialization. Project cost estimate half reduced by use of massive procurement. Use of several techniques to setup schedule and cost baseline : - Facilitated workshops - Group creativity techniques - Estimating techniques (three-point, parametric) - Information gathering techniques Project started with approved schedule and cost baseline.
