The following is a professional situation I managed. In this project, I worked with a team of IS professionals at Eli Lilly to develop a website on schedule. The Lilly IS organization was challenged by this project. My skill as the project manager created a better outcome than would have occurred without my efforts. I managed the client and coordinate a matrix of stakeholders. This successful outcome required taking risks to get the job done.

During the LillyGenesis.com Project, I led the development team to build a website for the Humatrope product line. The challenge was, as is often the case with software projects, that the Humatrope product managers did not understand the scope of effort required for the project. That is, they did not know exactly what they wanted, nor did they know the resources required for successful completion. Consequently, requirements were constantly changing. There were challenges both with the scope of the project and the infrastructure needed to deliver what the client wanted. The crux of the project was to deliver a website with patient charting functionality that medical practitioners could use online, in their offices.
