Project: EH&S Induction
Client: Shh… it’s a secret!
Working for: Talent2/The Learning Group
Role: Project Manager

I forgot to post the other day… After returning to work in Sydney, I found out that one of the projects I was loathe to leave before we went to Manila, had been signed-off and “released into the wild” by my client. I’m so proud of my team, who worked through some of the most difficult technical obstacles and at the same time managed to provide top quality support for the client after I had left.

I had a wonderful client in this instance, who although she was new to e-learning projects and needed a lot of assistance throughout, was extremely supportive of us (while we were working through all the implementation difficulties) and even went in to bat for us when we were having problems with their overseas technology team.

And the end product looks wonderful – sorry, I can’t share this one The lead visual designer did a beautiful job designing a simple yet professional interface, and my developers really worked hard in staying true to the original specifications.

Good work team!

Project: Online Induction
Client: Austereo
Working for: The Learning Group
Role: Lead Developer & Project Manager

I remember the day I was asked to be the Lead Developer on this project. It was an extremely busy time for the company, and a time commitment had been made that brought to mind the word “eep”. I am lucky that for all of these “crunch time” projects I have always had a willing team to work with. The Lead Visual Designer completed the graphics work on Saturdays, and I carried on with development on Sundays.

The hard work and overtime really paid off. This course is unique because of the high production value attached to it. It is media rich, with a background audio track and videos throughout.

Close attention had to be paid to stage management, and some pretty tight rules had to be followed to create a varying yet seamless look and  feel for the entire course.

While I wasn’t project manager to begin with, I was asked to take over this role after personnel changes from both us and the client stalled the project. I was able to get it back on track and continued to be the main point of contact and project manager for all maintenance related work up until going on Long Term Leave in July 2009.
