Intro & Considerations

Effective project management requires a range of skills, including communication, leadership, planning, and adaptability. Staying organized is crucial, especially in today's fast-paced digital landscape. I've developed techniques to maintain focus and productivity, which I'll share below.


Throughout my career, I've honed my project management skills in various roles, including Product Manager, Design Coordinator, Operations Coordinator, and President of the Board of Directors. I've worked with exceptional teams and have experience in waterfall, kanban, and Agile methodologies, with a Scrum certificate. I'm currently interested in obtaining my PMP certification.


The following examples demonstrate my approach and expertise in project management, showcasing some of the techniques I've learned and applied in my roles.

As Kitchen Operations Coordinator, I oversaw all responsibilities including training, scheduling, food ordering, menu design, and document creation, including training manuals. I led meetings, facilitated stakeholder communication, and scheduled trainers to train volunteers for each event. My team trained volunteers to cook for 120 people per event, totalling approximately 2800 annually.


To ensure a smooth operation, I developed a role/position plan (seen above) to clarify priorities, assign responsibilities, and streamline communication and planning, taking into account our complex schedule.

My project management approach adapts to each project and team, combining experience, and creativity, and staying updated with the latest trends. As a meditator, I bring a grounded and creative perspective to PM.


With the rise of remote work, strategic workspace planning is crucial. I believe visualization is key to achieving goals, so I write down my daily schedule and use calendars to plan annual events. A clean and organized office minimizes distractions.


I utilize tools like daily planners, whiteboards, digital calendars, work management software (Asana, Jira), and methodologies (Waterfall, Kanban, Scrum depending on the project and organization) to stay organized and focused. Tab groups help me declutter digitally, and simple changes like "DND" and headphones can enhance productivity.


These techniques help me keep the big picture and details in mind, ensuring alignment with my team.

Project Management Lifecycle

Project Management Lifecycle

Project Management Lifecycle

Traditional project management follows a structured framework:


  • Initiation: Define scope, goals, and deliverables

  • Planning: Create a detailed project plan

  • Execution: Carry out tasks and manage resources

  • Monitoring and Control: Track performance and address deviations

  • Closure: Formalize completion and evaluate success


In contrast, a Product Owner in tech follows an adapted Agile framework:


  • Initiation: Define product vision, goals, and roadmap

  • Planning: Develop product backlog, prioritize features, and create a release plan

  • Execution: Deliver product increments during sprints

  • Monitoring and Control: Track progress, metrics, and customer feedback

  • Closure: Launch product or feature and evaluate success

Scope Creep and Triple Constraint

Scope Creep and Triple Constraint

Scope Creep and Triple Constraint

To avoid scope creep and to manage the three competing demands implied by the triple constraint, project managers must:


  • Clearly define and manage project scope

  • Set realistic goals and timelines

  • Establish a budget and resource allocation plan

  • Monitor and control progress

  • Make informed decisions about scope, time, and cost trade-offs


Above, you can see a critical path diagram used for schedule planning, which is a fun reminder of scope creep and the triple constraint.

Holiday Ordering

Holiday Ordering

Holiday Ordering

We had an instance where, at the last minute, the key person could not take care of the ordering and other duties. We were approaching the Christmas holidays and needed to navigate the holiday supplier closures. I contacted suppliers to organize a Gantt chart for organizational purposes, then checked with the team and pulled people in from other areas to help cover what was needed, including trainers for the beginning of the course, end-of-course closing, and the service period between courses.


I acted in this capacity remotely for quite some time while attending to other jobs simultaneously, going to the Centre every few weeks.

Tracking and Scheduling

Tracking and Scheduling

Tracking and Scheduling

At OVC, we needed a way to track overlapping events and overlapping volunteers covering various days, so I created a sign-up sheet that we would refer to at meetings. I also needed to keep in touch with the volunteers to see how they were doing, checking in and asking if they could fill spots that required filling. This approach required much far-sightedness, constantly thinking about the future schedule.

Communication Plan

A communication plan was necessary for such a large organization to ensure that the right people got the correct information at the right times. We had an instance where someone at the Centre needed to communicate better, so I presented this plan for everyone's benefit. OVC has a complicated matrix structure with large groups of teams, so staying organized and using these types of plans is essential. It is also important to know when and how to use communication channels.

Work management tools like Jira, Asana and Monday help remote teams stay organized and aligned. When used properly, they facilitate harmonious collaboration and high-quality output. These tools are especially useful for complex technical projects, like designing a mini ITX gaming computer case with an international team (screenshot above). I also used them to develop a vertical GPU bracket, collaborating with team members in Taiwan, Ukraine, Sri Lanka, and locally. You can see these projects on my Product Design page. Effective use of project management tools significantly improved organization and contributed to successful product delivery.

As President of the Board of Directors at Ontario Vipassana Centre during the COVID-19 pandemic, I oversaw board governance, budget management, and executive team meetings. I led the development of safety protocols for reopening, working with health professionals and the board to create user stories and flows. We successfully implemented a comprehensive COVID-19 safety plan (draft excerpt above), approved by local health authorities and our insurance provider.
