Key Achievements:

As a PMO consultant at Colonial First State (CFS), Chika was responsible for resource management within a large- scale transformation program including onboarding and induction of resources. Chika also coordinated the program handover between client and vendor, scheduling key meetings and tracking progression. In this role, she also provided oversight of the Change Control and RAID processes as well as PMO support to the Project Managers.

As a PMO Consultant at Cbus, Chika worked in the PMO for one of the strategic M&A Programs. She successfully helped set up the PMO including creating a document repository, implementing processes and templates and the delivery of the Project Management Plan. During the engagement Chika’s responsibilities extended to a portfolio level overseeing PMO duties across multiple strategic programs, monitoring reporting, creating steering committee packs, assisting in workshop facilitation, and tracking RAIDD items. Chika was also responsible for maintaining the program and governance operating rhythm, including reporting and secretariat duties at a SteerCo and ExCo level.

As a Graduate at Wannon Water, Chika completed an engagement to review their current Project Management framework. In this project, a gap analysis was undertaken to identify missing items and provide recommendations on how to uplift the framework to become fit for purpose for IT projects.

As Graduate at Seven Consulting, Chika completed the Graduate program which is designed to enhance the core Project Management skills amongst the people who are experienced in their individual professional fields. During the Graduate program, she has gained theoretical and practical knowledge on different aspects of project management by going through different sessions and exercises with domain experts. This program has developed her skills and confidence level in using PM tools (like MS Project, JIRA etc), techniques and soft skills. Chika also had the opportunity to work shadow senior consultants in actual project environments where she has been exposed to risk, issues, and constraints on a project and better ways to manage them.
