Case Studies
Case Study
Pharmacy Process Transformation
Situation: As Project Manager, the mission was to meet a deadline of 7 months to implement and optimize process and mitigate loss of output.
Task/Activity: Spearheaded the overhaul and redefined protocols through:
- Building out a 500 line WBS over 2 months to account for all items that a required in the project
- Conducting interviews to get the information for what is required for a large pharmacy migration
- Acquired technical architect and three business analysts to collaborate
Results: The initiative was successful with an on-time launch that worked enough to continue getting 1300 scripts out daily.
Case Study
Leading Urgent Insurance Platform Overhaul
Situation: The existing EAS software vendor went out of business, requiring an accelerated transition—12 months sooner than planned—to a new property insurance platform.
Task/Activity: As Project Manager, I was responsible for ensuring the successful deployment of the new platform under a significantly shortened timeline.
Managed and executed testing across 10 Agile Sprints, while integrating QA and UAT efforts simultaneously.
Recruited and trained 15 internal staff members to serve as product owners and software testers.
Coordinated cross-functional teams to identify, prioritize, and resolve critical issues in real-time.
Results: Successfully met the go-live deadline with a functioning MVP (Minimum Viable Product), enabling the continuation of business operations. Ongoing hotfixes and incremental software releases were deployed post-launch to stabilize and enhance the platform.
Testimonials
“Todd was able to identify risks and work with PMO group to mitigate them. He can be a great addition to any projects where you are looking for a manager or lead who understands the SDLC process, system design and insurance applications especially Duck Creek system.”
Management (PriceWater ClearingHouse)
“Todd helped implement a UAT process/framework and trained many resources on the process. He supported multiple work streams across the program (Claims, Billing, Policy and Data Reporting) and contributed to improved quality and on time delivery. He has strong analytical, communication, and project management skills. He also demonstrated many leadership qualities and was a “go-to” person on our team.”
(California FAIR Plan Association)
“We hired Todd as a BA to work on our new system implementation. He quickly became our go-to person for requirements, testing and training. He worked closely with IT to ensure the project was ready. As a result he was promoted. Without Todd’s leadership, expertise and attention to detail we could not have successfully launched on time. Todd was an integral part of every aspect of the project and helped to up-skill the project team.”
Association
“I worked with Todd from initial requirement sessions to our post go-live for our Duck Creek implementation project. He is truly an asset and a great leader. Todd inspired me to pursue business analysis and I am grateful to him for that. His knowledge and passion for business analysis was truly a pleasure to work with. He will give 100% to any project whether big or small. I learned many valuable lessons from Todd and highly recommend him for a leadership role.”
