“I had the opportunity to work with Travis within the…..IT department. Travis was hired as the PM expert to help the organization implement their project management office (PMO).

Travis’ expertise was used to help draft policy and procedure, an interactive training site using SharePoint, training materials, as well as carry out the role of Scrum Master for the dev team.

Travis’ shortlist of projects included Online Expenses, Member Online Portal, Alfresco Integration, Member Cards, OH&S Database, Education Roadmap, SharePoint Dashboard Tracking & Reporting Project, and others.

Travis worked with the executive team to build the PMO Governance Committee, conduct a PMO Maturity Assessment, gather feedback from PMO Stakeholders to help identify priorities and developed several workshops. I found his expertise and coaching on the Agile Team projects to be very useful.”
