In the case of effective management, everything starts with a well-prepared and introduced plan including clear principles for the presentation of the adopted strategy, which is based on developing an orderly approach to emerging problems and making the necessary corrections in the course of work.
- Experience in change management and an orderly approach to risk management. Especially at a time when we need to redefine certain risks and sometimes change the assumptions made in this area.
- Proficiency in both Agile and waterfall methodology to be ready to adapt to the requirements and needs of a particular project.
- Familiarity with contracts and clauses on which cooperation with clients is based. This is particularly important in the case of changes in the project scope or schedule. Only through the precise and regular management of these areas, one can be sure that the project will not generate losses.
