Project portfolio of a production-line manufacturer, 2025–2026. Full story: case study →

Four ways to get a project over the line.

01
Project portfolio diagnosis
For companies running 10+ parallel projects with no single picture of where they stand.

Three days on site. Two days of diagnostics: interviews with management and team leads, review of projects, schedules and budgets. Day three: walking the team through the recovery plan. Outcome: a report with a portfolio map, the 5 main causes of delays and a 90-day plan.

02
PMO in 90 days
For companies that know they need structure — and want it at a fixed price.

Project charter, RACI, risk and decision registers, master schedule, reporting cycle. Pilot on 3–5 projects, then the whole portfolio. At the end: a trained team and an internal PMO owner. KPIs measured before and after.

03
Interim PM / Program Manager
For an investment project that has stalled, lost its owner or outgrown the team.

What you get: a project brought to acceptance, a team that can sustain it afterwards, and a board that knows what is going on without having to ask. Full delivery: concept → budget → tenders → execution → acceptance → handover. Paid for scope and results, not for presence. We start with a diagnosis — so that the decision on further cooperation is based on what is really in the project, not on a first conversation.

Training: PM for engineers
For technical and investment departments running projects without tools.

1–2 days in-house, up to 15 people, on examples from your plant. Everyone leaves with their own project mapped out and a full set of templates the department works with from Monday.

Days 1–14
Diagnosis

How many projects there really are, who owns them, where they break. A list, not opinions.

Days 15–45
Structure

Project charter, RACI, risk and decision registers, one schedule, one reporting rhythm.

Days 46–75
Pilot and rollout

New rules on 3–5 projects, then the whole portfolio. The team is trained on its own projects.

Days 76–90
Handover

Internal PMO owner, KPIs for the board, I leave. The structure stays.

What I do in the first two weeks.

Before I change anything, I need to know how things really are. Not from a board presentation — from the shop floor.

  1. I talk to everyone one-on-one. Production manager, maintenance, purchasing, engineers. Individually, not in a meeting — because in a group nobody says where it really hurts.
  2. I map the documentation and schedules. What is on paper, what is in people's heads, and what doesn't exist at all. The biggest risk usually sits in the third category.
  3. I call the key suppliers. Contract dates and real dates are two different things. I would rather know in week two than in week twenty.

Poland,
Europe.

I am based in Dębica, south-eastern Poland — working for manufacturing companies on site or remotely, depending on the project phase and the team's needs.

For longer engagements I work wherever the project requires — currently as Global PM on a project delivered across Belgium, the Czech Republic and Poland; previously with contractors from Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland. Working language: Polish and English.
