Senior Project Manager resume example

• As workstream lead, built a project management baseline covering scope, budget, dependencies, and acceptance decisions; used planning reviews to resolve a vendor handoff before it moved the delivery date.
• With responsibility for the review standard, adapted Agile delivery to a fixed customer milestone by separating committed scope from change requests; showed the budget and schedule impact before asking the sponsor to approve a trade-off.
• Maintained a dependency-linked delivery schedule, compared actual spend with the approved budget, and negotiated scope changes before they affected the critical path.
• Owned a delivery workstream using a dependency register and budget baseline, resolving approval conflicts that had left three milestones without an accountable owner.
• Built an Agile planning checklist with explicit acceptance evidence, reducing reopened delivery items from 12 to 4 over the next two review cycles.

• Tracked forecast, committed spend, and change requests against a $3.4 million budget; aligned review standards and decision owners across the participating teams. Working with partner teams, kept the lower-effort process in place after handoff.
• Reviewed a delivered feature against acceptance criteria with design and engineering, documented the unresolved usability issue, and agreed whether it should block release or enter the next iteration.
• Traced a late scope request to the underlying user need, compared it with the agreed release goal, and worked with delivery partners to split required behavior from a follow-up enhancement. Updated acceptance criteria before development continued.

• Consolidated 5 vendor plans into one acceptance and handoff schedule; aligned review standards and decision owners across the participating teams
• Used a public product workflow to map the user problem, decision points and acceptance criteria; marked assumptions separately from observed behavior and prioritized an experiment before specifying a complete redesign.
• Prepared a decision log showing alternatives, dependencies and the metric that would reverse the recommendation; walked through an exception path and updated the acceptance criteria when ownership was unclear.
• Owned the independent prototype review using task-based acceptance criteria, resolved an ambiguous exception path and completed a test plan with an explicit stopping rule.

• Published a personal product case study using the project decision log, explaining rejected alternatives, testable assumptions and the evidence needed before a production launch.
