Bio
Chenwei Yang
Michelle was the project lead for the implementation of Enterprise Project Server 2010 for us, a 1000-user environment. Her high degree of knowledge and expertise on Project Server 2010 helped us with a smooth and successful delivery of the project. In addition, Michelle is very dedicated to her work. She strides her best to support an environment where most users are new to MS Project and MS Project Server. Michelle also received excellent feedback from the user community for her training classes. As the project manager for this implementation, I learned a great deal from Michelle, and she made my job easier than expected. I highly recommend Michelle for her work ethic, professionalism, project management expertise, and training skills.

I had the pleasure of working with Michelle at Xcelligent. After sitting in on one of her Microsoft Project Server presentations I was immediately impressed with her expertise in this technology. Her presentation was excellent, not only in the content but in the way she explained it. She has a great way of presenting information so that you actually understand it. Her audience is captivated by how she offers "Tips and Tricks". She is a true polished professional that has a wealth of experience and knowledge in MS products and the EPM practice. It was a true pleasure working with and getting to know Michelle. I plan to stay connected to her professionally as we both continue our careers and look forward to the chance to work with her again in the future.
