"Barb was able to very effectively help us develop documentation and procedures that easily fit within our organization. Today the work Barb completed was adopted within our organization globally with very little rollout strategy due to the quality or work and the ability to adapt strong PM skills to our culture. Barb is very detailed oriented and asks great questions when identifying expectation and strategy, I feel her ability to quickly understand our procedures and processes was vital to the success of the project. Barb is and will continue to be our first stop on any PM related projects that I will have in the future."
