  • Setup and maintain regular status check-ins during the projects:

Project & Portfolio Management Assessment

If you repeatedly struggle to deliver project outcomes on time and your budgets are blown out of the water, it’s time to find out why that’s happening. I’ll help you determine what’s working and what’s not when it comes to the project management discipline in your business as well as your portfolio as a whole. Using anecdotal information gathered from folks in your organization and assessing the work products they use to manage the projects in the portfolio, I will help you define what to do to transform your delivery with incremental improvement.

Michelle and I worked together at Miller Brewing Company on a high-risk project with one of Miller’s largest retailers. I can say without question that Michelle’s abilities as a PM are second to none. She sets clear goals, communicates effectively, and make sure everyone knows their responsibilities. I would recommend Michelle to any company that is seeking a strong project leader who can lead a team to successful delivery.
