I would like to give a shout-out to Barb, one of the best project managers I have ever worked with! Barb managed a very prestigious and complex integrations project which has a lot of cross-collaborations with various departments in the organization. She has managed the timeline, budget, and resources impeccably. Barb would be an asset to any company she works for!
