Confidential

Senior Project Manager

Responsibilities:

• Engaged to manage projects for a small team of analysts that reviewed requests for Authorization changes and Network changes. The team used ServiceNow Ticketing system to receive, prioritize, and document risk-level assessments. It also had a workflow that routed tickets for approvals.
• My responsibilities were to meet with team members to understand work processes used to assess the need, validity and risk-level of requested changes. Develop metrics for assessing team productivity and reporting to senior managers. My engagement was cut short because the IT organization that managed the ServiceNow system was beginning to make custom enhancements to the package to accommodate Confidential work processes for all sites in North and South America.
