Are you or have you been responsible for managing specific projects or
teams within an organisation. Please tell us the size and nature of the tasks
and people you have managed?
I believe in order to succeed in business world one has to
have a team spirit and when a group of professional work as a team they can
take the best of everyone in the team and do something extraordinary. The
nature of my responsibilities allows me work with others all the time. Since I
work for services and consulting organization my day to day work include
interaction with several individuals and group which includes team members,
managers, higher management, clients and many times vendors of different
technology and services that we use.
Specifically I’d like to mention one of experiences while
working with my previous employer CMC Limited. I joined CMC Limited soon after
completion of my master’s degree and was inducted to Tata Business Support
Services project. Two of the seniors who were handling the major proportion of
work of this project for the last three years left the organization within 15
days of my joining to the team leaving me and few more new joiners to take care
of the entire project. Due to issues with budget and management the higher
management asked me to take care of the entire software system in lieu of
replacing the vacancies with experienced professionals. I took it as a
challenge. In addition to developing the IT system I had to take care of
everything from planning, scheduling and assigning works to negotiate with the
clients for the requirement. For gathering requirements I had to negotiate with
the client and during deployment of every new version I had to communicate with
several teams seated in different geographic location. To keep the new joiners
updated I organized several knowledge sessions.
After overcoming initial difficulties I managed to take care
of the entire system successfully in matter of 15 days. Then I went on to
maintaining the existing system I introduced six new products to the system in
three months. This experience during the beginning phase of my career prepared
the ground for my subsequent days in Information Technology and Consulting
sphere.
