Job Title: Project Management Consultant
Company: European Patent Office
Description: I was hired to Project Manage and roll out a software development methodology for use across the IT department of the European Patent Office (EPO). I had to develop both the methodology and the training plan and then deliver the training to circa. 800 development staff.
This included developing a framework which links the methodology with Prince2 in order to provide a seamless project and application development environment.
Once complete this led to further methodology based development, this time focusing on enabling the use of an Agile development method (SCRUM based) within the existing Prince2 and development method framework and with the addition of MSP (for programme management) being added as a top layer of governance.
This new framework was completed, training was delivered in key areas and the governance and development framework was put to use within the IT department.
I was then actively involved in both the definition and implementation of the role of a new Project and Programme Office within EPO.
This role came to a natural conclusion at the end of June 2009.
