Tools

I am method and tool agnostic by design. The right approach depends on the problem you are solving, the people doing the work and the constraints you are operating under. My role is to select, adapt or design a delivery model that actually works in your environment, not force a framework for its own sake.

Methodologies and delivery frameworks

I am formally trained and experienced across a wide range of delivery approaches, including:

  • Agile delivery
    • Qualified Agile Scrum Master
    • Qualified Product Owner
  • Predictive and hybrid delivery
    • PMI PMP certified
    • PRINCE2 experienced
    • Waterfall delivery in regulated and complex environments
  • Portfolio and governance models
    • P3O experience across programme and portfolio structures

I can work comfortably within any of these frameworks, or within your existing internal methodology. I regularly operate in environments where multiple approaches coexist.

My approach to methodology

While I am trained in formal frameworks, my strongest capability is knowing when and how to adapt them.

Rather than applying a textbook model, I focus on:

  • The maturity and skillset of your team
  • The nature of the work and level of uncertainty
  • Regulatory or governance requirements
  • Time, budget, and stakeholder constraints

From there, I design a practical hybrid delivery model that fits your organisation, rather than asking your organisation to fit the model.

This often results in a blend of agile, predictive, and lightweight governance elements that give you control without slowing delivery down.

Project and delivery tools

I am experienced with a wide range of project management, product, and collaboration tools and can adapt quickly to what you already use.

Common tools I work with include:

Agile and product tools

  • Jira
  • Confluence
  • Notion

Kanban and team workflow tools

  • Trello
  • Monday.com

Project planning and delivery tools

  • Basecamp
  • Smartsheet
  • Microsoft Project
  • Asana
  • ClickUp

I am comfortable adopting your existing toolset, or recommending simplifications where tooling has become overcomplicated or underused.

Airtable as a delivery platform

One area where I offer distinct value is in building reusable project delivery systems in Airtable.

I use Airtable to create:

  • Clear, non technical project plans
  • Simple work tracking and status views
  • Stakeholder friendly reporting
  • Reusable templates that scale across projects
  • Lightweight workflow automation
  • Early use of agentic AI to reduce manual effort

These setups are:

  • Easy for non technical teams to learn
  • Fast to implement
  • Flexible enough to evolve as the project changes

They work particularly well for organisations that want visibility and structure without heavy tooling or long onboarding cycles.

Tools serve delivery, not the other way around

Tools and frameworks are enablers, not the goal. My focus is always on:

  • Clarity of objectives
  • Momentum in delivery
  • Decision making at the right level
  • Reporting that people actually read and use

Whether I am working in your existing tools or introducing a simple new setup, the objective is the same: help your team deliver with confidence and control. If you would like to discuss how your current tools and processes could be simplified or strengthened, the best place to start is a discovery call.
