A project manager applying to lead a software rollout with a fixed deadline

Dear Mr Haddad,

I took over a 14-month billing system migration at Quillon Energy when it was eleven weeks behind1, and delivered it two weeks ahead of the revised date and 4% under its £2.3 million budget. Tidewater's listing describes a tenant portal that must launch before the new financial year, and I know what that kind of deadline needs.

The recovery was not complicated. I cut the scope to the three functions the regulator required2, moved everything else to a second release, and replaced a monthly steering meeting with a fifteen-minute weekly one where decisions were made on the spot. A team of twelve across four suppliers did the rest.

I work in Agile where the team builds software and in PRINCE2 where the organisation needs stage gates, and most of my projects have needed both. Much of my time goes on translating: turning a developer's risk into a sentence a finance director can act on3.

Tidewater publishes its repair times every quarter. That is the kind of accountability I want my work to serve.

I would welcome the chance to show you the recovery plan from the migration. I am available any day this week.

Yours sincerely, Wei Chen
