In recent years, I faced critical projects where I had to help bring the project to a better state. I had to find quick solutions under challenging conditions. First, I analyzed the current situation, made the project measurable, derived actions, defined processes and approaches, restructured the team and the organization, and followed up on these new processes and structures with the team. My past experience as a software developer, tester, test manager, process manager, and project manager helped me with this. I can quickly get an overview and simplify complex environments and structures. Where others give up after a short time, I pursue the goals with passion and persistence.
