Cosmin Batica

Senior IT Project Manager
Bucharest

Summary

  • I'm an IT Project Manager driven by the challenge of delivering comprehensive projects from initial requirements through final acceptance. My methodology integrates PMBOK and Method123 for structured Waterfall approaches, along with Agile/Scrum for iterative progress, and occasionally ITIL concepts where consistent processes are needed. While I primarily rely on PMBOK guidelines and Method123 documentation, I'm also comfortable referencing PRINCE2 or other industry-standard frameworks whenever project governance demands it. This balanced approach fosters clear communication, effective risk management, and on-schedule results. Key highlights include:
  • Leading end-to-end initiatives (analysis, setup, configuration, acceptance) across diverse IT domains
  • Adapting Waterfall (PMBOK/Method123) and Agile (Scrum) methods to each project's scope and stakeholder needs
  • Coordinating multidisciplinary teams to ensure quality deliverables and collaboration I'm equally open to mature, widely recognized project management tools - whether Microsoft Project, Jira, or other broadly used solutions-to match each organization's environment. Above all, I strive to refine workflows, guide cross-functional groups, and deliver tangible value within the project lifecycle, seeking opportunities that leverage my combined skill set and promote excellence in IT project execution.
