My last Job - Project Manager

Hello everyone,

In this notebook entry I'll be writing about what I did in my previous job. Thanks in advance for your corrections.

I'm a Systems Engineer and graduated in 2004, so I've ten years of work experience in the IT field. During my last five years I was working as an IT Project Manager. In my last job position as Project Manager, I was involved in more than 20 different IT projects and most of these were mainly related with the Software Development Life Cycle. For this reason, I've acquired extensive experience understanding customer needs and translating their needs into technical requirements. Furthermore, I've been involved in all of these projects from their initial concept up until customer support and project closure.

As Project Manager, It was my responsibility to liase with key stakeholders and examine their needs and concerns, and gather all the information to initiate those projects. Once I had the scope well defined, it was my responsibility to identify team members, create schedules and allocate resources. During project execution I led teams to deliver products as specified by our stakeholders and I identified risks promptly to avoid schedule, scope or budget deviations. Also, I was responsible to ensure stakeholders expectations were in line with our deliverable schedule. To summarise, I had the authority to be able to close projects which surpassed customer expectations and therefore avoid deviations. In my last big project I introduced Agile paradigm to the team in order to improve their efficiency.

How this sound as a introduction to the question? How did you do in your last job?

Thanks all for your corrections.

All the best,
Rafael
