Independent Consultant and Technical Trainor

Seminar Speaker/ Technical Trainor (2003-Present) 

Conducted training seminars both public and in-house to top corporations in the Phiippines on various topics in Project Management, Enterprise Information Systems Architecture, Database and Datawarehouse Development



Currently collaborating with some technical luminaries in the field of project management on advanced topics in Earned Value Management Systems (EVMS). Developed and derived a methodology which translates the base calculations used in Earned Value to measure and track project effort, cost and schedule from a cost-based tracking system into a time-phased tracking system. This in turn, was used to develop a modified version of the Gantt chart used in project management. The modified charting system could simultaneously track project cost, effort and schedule along a project time-scaled chart. It could then be used as an effective forecasting tool for both schedule and cost down to the task or activity level of a project. The project tracking method is now called a “4-bar Earned Schedule Gantt”
