Project & Program Delivery Support
Some projects need more than a framework—they need experienced hands. I embed with your team to drive delivery, manage stakeholders, and solve problems as they emerge. When projects matter, I help you get them done.
When Projects Need Help
Projects stall or struggle for many reasons:
- Scope keeps expanding with no corresponding timeline adjustments
- Stakeholders are misaligned on objectives or expectations
- Key decisions get delayed waiting for someone to take ownership
- Technical or resource issues emerge without clear resolution paths
- Communication breaks down between teams or with leadership
- The project team is stretched too thin across competing priorities
- Original assumptions prove wrong and nobody adapts the plan
Sometimes organizations need an experienced outsider to cut through the noise, reset direction, and drive toward completion.
What Delivery Support Looks Like
I don’t just write plans and attend status meetings. Delivery support means being accountable for outcomes alongside your team.
Hands-On Project Leadership
Planning, coordination, issue resolution, and stakeholder management. I run the project or work alongside your PM to add capacity and experience.
Stakeholder Alignment
Getting and keeping stakeholders on the same page—clarifying expectations, managing communications, resolving conflicts, and ensuring decision-makers have what they need.
Problem Solving
Projects hit obstacles. I bring pattern recognition from hundreds of initiatives to identify solutions quickly and keep momentum moving forward.
Risk Management
Proactive identification and mitigation of risks before they become issues. And when issues arise, clear escalation and resolution processes.
Team Support
Removing blockers, facilitating decisions, and creating an environment where your team can do their best work.

Engagement Models
Project Leadership
I lead the project directly—accountable for delivery with regular reporting to your sponsors. Best when you need experienced leadership or your team is at capacity.
Co-Delivery
I work alongside your project manager, adding capacity and experience. Best when your PM needs support on a complex or high-stakes initiative.
Project Recovery
I assess a troubled project, develop a recovery plan, and lead the reset. Best when a project has stalled, gone off-track, or lost stakeholder confidence.
Program Support
For larger initiatives spanning multiple projects, I provide program-level coordination, governance, and stakeholder management.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you integrate with existing project teams?
Quickly. I’ve worked with all kinds of team structures, methodologies, and tools. The first priority is understanding the current state, relationships, and dynamics—then adding value without disruption.
What’s the difference between this and hiring a contract PM?
Experience and strategic perspective. A contract PM fills a role. I bring pattern recognition from 23+ years and hundreds of projects to anticipate problems, navigate politics, and find solutions that others might miss.
Can you work with our existing project methodology?
Yes. I’m methodology-agnostic and adapt to your approach—whether waterfall, Agile, hybrid, or something unique to your organization.
What happens when the project is complete?
Proper closure including documentation, lessons learned, and knowledge transfer. My goal is leaving your organization stronger, not creating dependency.
How do you handle disagreements with client leadership decisions?
Directly and professionally. I provide clear, honest assessments and recommendations. Final decisions rest with client leadership, but I won’t quietly go along with something I think is likely to fail.
