Old: Software project manager for Lisp-on-a-Chip.
Value/Action/Method
As the software project manager for the new Lisp-on-a-Chip, I encouraged
collaboration at all levels of the organization. Internally, this allowed us to
deliver milestones monthly, to see the product evolve, and to build trust.
Externally, this allowed us to meet our aggressive 9-month trade-show
deadline.
