Hi from Glasgow in the UK.
I run the PMO Practice and Operations group in the Product & Technology division of a global organization in the HCM space. Before June 2021, program and project management was supported by a kaleidoscope of tools - Excel, MS Teams Planner, SharePoint, PowerPoint reporting, etc. We adopted Smartsheet 12 months ago and haven't looked back since.
The workflow of our Program Management group is built on it now: project and program intake, pipeline assessment and prioritization, delivery and execution, lessons learnt. Our PMO Practice is the same, with its own intake and backlog; competencies and skills tooling; team pulse checking; and more.
As a recovering perfectionist and problem solver, I love learning and helping.
My (somewhat tenuous) claim to fame - serving lunch to, followed by being invited to sit with, John De Lancie in the mid-90s, in my previous life as a restaurant manager, when he was in town making a guest appearance at a nearby Star Trek convention.
I'm not particularly photogenic so here is a picture of Flinders Street Station in Melbourne, Australia that I took in July 2019; the last time I travelled on business.
