About

I am a certified Project Management Professional (PMP®) with a rich 26 years of experience. I have had associations with organizations like Spheris Inc., HCL Technologies, Aithent Technologies and RMSI in the capacity of Technology Head, Program Manager and a PMO Head. I have also been involved in establishing and implementing CMM L5 processes. I have had unique experience of working in different industrial domains viz. Pharmaceutical, Banking, Insurance, Healthcare and Government. Over the years I have noticed that failure of projects and/or huge cost & schedule overruns can be primarily attributed to (inadequate) resource management, (reactive) communication management and (lack of focus to) risk management; insufficient project planning and/or poor execution along with little Monitoring & Control are as much a culprit. All of these factors can be attributed to poor project management. I believe proactive project management can make significant impact on successful project delivery and decent profitability. Organizations can greatly enhance the customer service and positively influence the ROI by implementing proper project management processes. Nowadays, I provide educational and advisory services on project and program management.
