Over the years I have been a member of various project teams.  These were great experiences as I gleaned how to manage projects as well as developed new skills.  Also, contributing to the success of a project is pleasing.

Not having access to MS Project until recently, I created and coded my own Gannt Chart using Microsoft Excel.  This allowed me to manage small projects within the laboratory such as:

• media expiry date validation
• Total Microbial Count validation
• implementation of electronic worksheets

To enhance my project management skills and knowledge, I’ve undertaken some training around the Project Management Body of Knowledge, aka the PMBOK Guide.:

• An Introduction to Project Management – BMS internal training (PROJ0511)
• Project Management Professional (PMP)® 2016 – self lead CBTNuggets training
• Project Management for the Real World – self lead CBTNuggets training

During my time on project teams, I’ve trained in (or become knowledgable) in:

• Long term scheduling – self taught
• Change management – self taught
• Business process mapping – lead by Tactics
• Training Small groups component of Cert IV in Assessment and Workplace Training – lead by Melbourne Uni
• Working Effectively in Project Teams – Mayne Pharma internal training
• The general principles of project management
• DR 09033 Laboratory design and construction

Skills, Knowledge and Training I possess that supports me in my project management tasks include:

• Process auditing skills – developed throughout career

• Communicating as a leader training – self lead BMS traning
• Quality management system knowledge – self taught
