Asen K.-Project Manager / Product Owner

IT consultant with 15 years of experience in project management and IT services in the private and public sectors

During my career as a project and sub-project manager, as well as a Product Owner, requirements, rollout and test manager, I have successfully delivered and completed many IT projects (e.g. rollouts/migrations, digitalization, infrastructure, etc.) for various clients (e.g. large corporations such as ERGO Group AG, with over 35000 employees, as well as medium-sized companies). I have been responsible for overall project planning (or the project areas I managed as a sub-project manager) and delivery, including project, resource and budget planning, preparing concepts and coordinating them with the relevant departments, requirements analysis and documentation (including user stories), managing, leading and coordinating implementation activities and project workflows, coordination between manufacturers/suppliers/service providers, stakeholders and departments, reporting and documentation, and handover after project completion. I was also responsible for digitalizing various services for public authorities and state ministries (initially only in NRW, then nationwide). I managed each implementation from A-Z, including planning, coordination (including requirements and translating them into user stories) with stakeholders, subject matter experts/departments and technicians, the implementation process, approval and online launch. In the next step, I was involved in planning, concept development, coordination, adaptation/implementation, approval and launch of services for public authorities and ministries in all other states.
