EXPERIENCE

Molina Healthcare                 Long Beach, CA

Primavera & PMO Consultant              Sep 2013 - Present

Primavera & PMO consultant for major healthcare organization experiencing rapid growth. In my tenure with Molina, I played a major role with the PMO and the Office of the CIO. As a member of the PMO, I supported a P6 software upgrade to v8.3, OPPM implementation, enterprise project portfolio management, and extensive training (methodology, project planning, scheduling, and resource management). All formal training sessions qualified for PMP continuous training credits. I formalized operations resource assignment management in P6 to enable realistic forecasting, assignment control and accountability. I created global layouts to provide for enterprise standard layouts, while creating and customizing many layouts and reports for project managers, resource managers, directors and VPs. In the Office of the CIO, I am in charge of utilizing EPPM and P6 to maximize resource management efficiency, data quality, reporting, analysis, forecasting, estimating and providing scheduling analysis to empower the IT Portfolio Manager to challenge the trending and timelines of the status provided by the Project Managers. I developed a popular formal report in P6 Analytics to bypass a complex, often unstable and burdensome resource capacity analysis report in P6. In this role I have uncovered interdepartmental data quality issues and have provided QA and process solutions to ensure enterprise databases are aligned. I proactively analyzed project performance data and engaged directly with the project managers and stakeholders to provide guidance on how to use the systems efficiently and effectively.

Master Scheduler & Open Plan SME       Dec 2012 – Aug 2013        

Program: TACPOD

Provided Open Plan software and project management expertise to standardize and optimize PM processes, procedures and training. I was also the Master Scheduler for the TACPOD UAV reconnaissance program and provided direct PM and scheduling support to all other enterprise programs. Implemented guidelines for EPM planning and project scheduling for quality optimization and to align with industry and DCMA best practices. Established guidelines to emphasize detailed networked planning that enabled critical path analysis to enforce critical thinking in the planning process and to provide management insight into the actual health of a plan. Updated resource management methodologies and developed tools for better resource planning and analysis by exporting Open Plan data into pivot tables. I also uncovered a software bug in how Open Plan calculated forecasted resources that required an immediate ‘hot fix’ by Deltek. I was successful in fostering a PM culture that broke down existing barriers and fostered a learning environment for the new enterprise-wide EVMS requirements and the EPM applications supporting them.

The baseline plan thoroughly ensures that all standard Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) and supplier dependencies, deliverables, constraints and resources, etc. are accurately planned to have commonality across all subsequent 702HP programs. Time and quality were of the utmost importance in this effort as any planning delays prolonged engineering and we were required to perform an approved “backwards pass” of the IMS to ensure that all requirements and interdependencies across 13 major milestones were completely accurate.
