"No organization can afford to stand still in today’s warp-speed world. And all that change? It’s happening through projects."— Pulse of the Profession, PMI, February 2020
A project’s success is measured by product & project quality, timeliness, budget compliance, and degree of customer & stakeholders’ satisfaction.
Project management practitioners are tasked with identifying the right delivery approach, to get the job done, and deliver value.
For projects with multiple deliverables—it’s entirely possible that you might use different development approaches for different deliverables.
Development Approach. A method used to create and evolve the product, service, or result during the project life cycle, such as a predictive (plan-driven/waterfall), adaptive (agile/evolutionary), or hybrid method.

I emphasize quality, think logically, and strive for a diplomatic approach and consensus within groups. I ask important questions and talk about problems that could hold up projects—and speaking "truth to power" is important to me. The Japanese word kaizen translates to “good change.” I work hard to engage, scrutinize, hold accountable—and make better.
Problems on Large Projects Can Often Be Attributed to Small Mistakes That Were Overlooked! Precise, detail-oriented and conscientious—I take great pride in being accurate and correct and especially excel in specialized or technical tasks due to my attention to detail. Because I focus on the details and often see what many others do not, I tend to be a good problem solver and very creative. I think very analytically and systematically, and make decisions carefully with plenty of research and information to back it up. An instinctive organizer, who can both create and maintain systems. I am a "do it yourself" manager who maintains focus on tasks and will see something through until it's finished. I have very high standards for both myself and others. I bring perspective to groups and tend to be the 'anchor of reality' in team thought. When something is proposed, I will think through every detail of how it works and the process.
My Value Proposition—Economic, Operational Effectiveness & Efficiency I will make realistic estimates and will voice the problems that I see with the plan or already existing system—speaking "truth to power" is important to me. I am conscientious and even-tempered. I will complete tasks I've committed to and will be very thorough. Client retention and generating repeat revenue, profitability. Making sure that revenue stays ahead of the costs of doing business. Reduction in employee turnover costs—maintaining a productive and positive workplace environment that improves employee retention.
