José Roberto Sánchez Calderón

My name is Roberto Sanchez, a passionate Engineer with experience in managing projects. Strong ini­tiative and excellent collaboration skills. Devoted to delivering high quality projects often exceeding customer requirements. Accustomed to performing in deadline-driven environments with minimum supervision. Good International experience, he is Mexican but currently living in Brazil, taking advantage of his experience to developed products that make richer the Windows Phone platform.

Roberto is enthusiastic use of agile methodologies for product development. I suffered little bit with waterfall time ago (who never, right?) until was introduced to Scrum, which joined immediately. At the begging of my career when I work at Nokia, I looked a way to support me and help me to track, monitoring and made more productive my work that is where I met scrum. At the beginning was quite difficult, because nobody had the experience in Agile, at the end I embrace the agility as a part in my life and always try to use for any project from my personal to my professional live. Now I have some years of experience, working in INdT (the old Institute Nokia of Technology, now part of Microsoft research and development), I am Agile Manager, always looking to improve my techniques to manage projects, I got participated as a Scrum Master and as a Product Owner, but personally I like more to be involved in the products strategy like a Product Owner, my last project was Claromusica, a product that is launched in 17 countries of Latin America.

I am studying MBA in Project Management at FGV (Fundacao Getulio Vargas in Brazil), and why project management? is because I believe that this kind of MBA gives you the foundation for Project Management. After receiving that, you can better understand the different methodologies available and use what works best for your organization. Agile, Scrum, Prince2, Waterfall, Method 123 or strictly PMBOK; the project management profession has evolved so much over the years and expect it to continue evolving as organizations determine what better fits their needs, I also believe support to improve the performance of my techniques.

Roberto loves the cars, to drive and feel the power of the engine. The custom cars are my favorites, I always try to make faster my car, :D. I love my family, I believe are the more important in my live, I try to be close, support and help them. Not married but right now I looking for :P.
