IT Sub-Project Manager/PMO
IT Sub-Project Manager/PMO

Assignment: Support the creation of the requirements specification

  • Qvest Media is a consultant and IT integrator for the media industry. 
  • Assignment: Support the creation of the requirements specification.
  • Project goal: Qvest Media supported the migration of the national TV broadcasting station SRG to the new audio/video over IP technology which was implemented at their new building. The entire technical equipment had to be renewed.
  • Project phase goal: Based on the general concept and in collaboration with SRG Qvest Media was writing the tendering documents which include the standards-, functional- and technical requirements specification.
  • The project consisted of the phases requirement engineering, writing of tendering documents, tendering process, implementation planning, implementation, go-live.
  • As sub-project manager I was the organizational lead for the most important sub-project 0 (network) and 4 (aggregation/play-out).
  • I worked in close cooperation with the Qvest Media technical leads of each sub-project, as well as the sub project managers of the client SRG.
  • At the project level my job was to implement the master project plan in the sub projects/work streams and report progress, risks and issues.
  • At the team level it was my job to plan the necessary workshops, to make sure that an agenda was always set, all agenda items were discussed, the results documented, and the action tasks tracked.
  • The challenge of this project was the high degree of difficulty, as for the first time ever a TV station incl. news and sport studio environment was built based on an audio/video network over IP infrastructure. Qvest Media faced very tight deadlines and had to deal with many dependencies within the project as well to other ongoing projects.
  • Another challenge was the cooperation with the client?s project members. One sub-project manager was extremely demanding. On the other hand some of the client?s project members showed up unprepared for workshops and review sessions. This frustrated the Qvest staff. It was my job to communicate with the client and normalize the situation.

Procurement and Migration Project (Contractor)

IT Sub-Project Manager/PMO
IT Sub-Project Manager/PMO

Assignment: Support the creation of the requirements specification

  • Qvest Media is a consultant and IT integrator for the media industry. 
  • Assignment: Support the creation of the requirements specification.
  • Project goal: Qvest Media supported the migration of the national TV broadcasting station SRG to the new audio/video over IP technology which was implemented at their new building. The entire technical equipment had to be renewed.
  • Project phase goal: Based on the general concept and in collaboration with SRG Qvest Media was writing the tendering documents which include the standards-, functional- and technical requirements specification.
  • The project consisted of the phases requirement engineering, writing of tendering documents, tendering process, implementation planning, implementation, go-live.
  • As sub-project manager I was the organizational lead for the most important sub-project 0 (network) and 4 (aggregation/play-out).
  • I worked in close cooperation with the Qvest Media technical leads of each sub-project, as well as the sub project managers of the client SRG.
  • At the project level my job was to implement the master project plan in the sub projects/work streams and report progress, risks and issues.
  • At the team level it was my job to plan the necessary workshops, to make sure that an agenda was always set, all agenda items were discussed, the results documented, and the action tasks tracked.
  • The challenge of this project was the high degree of difficulty, as for the first time ever a TV station incl. news and sport studio environment was built based on an audio/video network over IP infrastructure. Qvest Media faced very tight deadlines and had to deal with many dependencies within the project as well to other ongoing projects.
  • Another challenge was the cooperation with the client?s project members. One sub-project manager was extremely demanding. On the other hand some of the client?s project members showed up unprepared for workshops and review sessions. This frustrated the Qvest staff. It was my job to communicate with the client and normalize the situation.
