Lamb Chambers / C&L Consultant, London, UK
C&L Consultant provides IT & Telecom consultancy and project delivery services to SMBs and large
companies. They have clients in the UK, Europe, Africa and Latin America.
Project Delivery Manager - SaaS Solution
Employed to deliver the first version of a Legal Case Management Application (LCMA) to be running
from the Cloud and potentially as a SaaS solution. Under my coordination, the project team involved 46
people including a Lead Architect, a Lead Developer, a Test Manager, a Senior User Advocate, a Cloud
Hosting Provider, and Senior Barristers from Lamb Chambers (the end client). The project span just over one
year with a budget of £1.2M.
Responsibilities:
 Assisted the client's programme manager in refining the LCMA's business case, the project initiation
documents, and the project strategy in relation to risk, quality, communication, and documentation
 Trained stakeholders for efficient user stories / use cases / requirement management
 Managed project delivery, work estimation, supplier management, and budget control
 Produced project progress reports (status / milestones / deliverables / risks / issues / software releases)
 Liaised with third-party service providers and offshore solution partners such as Vaadin’s (solution
architecture partner, based in Helsinki, Finland), Civica (solution development partner, based in Spain),
SoftID’s (solution test partner, based in Bangalore, India), Hetzner’s Account Manager (cloud hosting
provider based in Germany)
 Reviewed the project benefits and provided lessons learned for next LCMA releases
 Established consensus with third-party service providers and compliance to the adopted project
methodologies (hybrid between Waterfall and Agile)
 Delivered the first version of an innovative LCMA solution running in cloud launched with 250 users.
Achievements:
 Suggested and obtained (after the first stage review), the outsourcing of some of the development and
testing offshore in order to stay within budget.
 Successfully organised the right mix of onshore / offshore project team after convincing senior
stakeholders (up to the project executive).
 Proactively organised a cost-effective training to help all client representatives understand the
technologies involved in the LCMA project and software project delivery concepts. This resulted in the
client users' full acceptance of the scope and requirement control processes.
 This enabled the client to remain within budget instead of going 100% over budget, as indicated by the
original forecasts. Re-scoped down the project with 50% less functionalities for the first version but
100% increase on the robustness and scalability while staying within budget. There is a commercial
NDA on certain key benefits of this project.
