Management Coaching
Project Management and mentoring
If you're changing project lifecycles, or have had trouble making your procects succeed in the past, consider a project management coach. I provide project management expertise (on all lifecycles, including Agile) and mentoring for projects and/or project managers. I work with you to determine what you already do well, and what you need to change for the future.
If you need more coaching than mentoring, I also specific project consulting. Sometimes, that's in the form of estimation, WBS organization, timeboxing, or general problem-solving for your project.
Executive coaching and management mentoring
Sometimes, you just need to talk to someone, another experienced manager who's encountered similar problems. I can structure a coaching engagement to answer your questions, and help you see how to be most effective.
Interim (contract) Management or Project Management
If you need a temporary manager or project manager, I can fill in while we look for my replacement. I've worked as first-line through senior manager in development, test, documentation, and customer service groups, as well as projects and programs from 3 people to 100 + people. In the past, I've held these interim jobs for no more than two months while we look for my permanent replacement. I help you hire the appropriate manager, developing phone screens, auditions and other interview questions, and reference check questions.
