What I Do
Professional Skills
Workflows
One of the most important pillars of Project Management are the right workflows for operational processes and project management.
SMART Goals / OKRs
Strategic goals are the compass for a business operation and projects. Both SMART or OKRs will help you keep your team focused and engaged.
PM Tools
Management requires tools. The better you choose, the more efficient and optimal your operations will be. I can help with that.
Budgeting / Tracking
The baseline budget will be the base of scope and timeline. It will always go through changes, so regular tracking and reforecasting are crucial.
Planning / Scheduling
Only planning will allow a successful execution. Good planning will include accountability and mitigation plans for the unexpected.
Agile / Scrum
This project management methodology helps teams deliver value incrementally in a collaborative way. Best for software development.
Portfolio

Content Production Projects involve different teams and layers of Project Management. Planning, tracking, and constant reforecasting are crucial to handle scope creep.

Testimonials
Cheryl was an absolute delight to work with. Always dependable in every situation and ready to tackle whatever was needed efficiently and effectively. She is highly organized, creative, and resourceful. She had a tool bag full of ideas, and resources that helped solve several problems I was struggling with. She worked very proactively and often was working on something long before the deadline. Our meetings were always productive, and she took charge of the work assigned without any additional follow-up from me. She would be an asset to any business in need of a project manager or online business manager.

Is Project Management a Good Career?
I’m super passionate about project management, so I’m very biased toward a big YES. However, I’ll try to be as objective as I can and base this article on facts that can help you if you are considering Project Management as a career.
Why is Project Management important?
Project Management is important because it helps to ensure that a project is completed on time, within budget, and to the satisfaction of all stakeholders. But it’s so much more than that. I think that Project Management practices are always a reflection of a company’s culture because they will carry all its virtues and flaws.
