Symantec, IT Program Director
September 2006 - October 2008, Durham, North Carolina, United States
In charge of a cross-IT program to support a new business capability, I'm driving the effort through new-to-Symantec approaches such as "Map Day". My approach has "saved weeks if not months" in getting the project launched. I've proliferated this approach by training and mentoring other PMs in the process.
I've also developed an initial Program Management methodology leveraging PMI's and the UK's CCTA program management methodologies and have started discussions on using OPM3 to guide the development of project managers.
