End-to-end Project Development and Management
Turning ideas into action without the chaos. It’s making sure everyone knows what needs to be done, by when, and how. I set clear goals, streamline workflows, and keep teams on track using tools like ClickUp. From task delegation to problem-solving, I make sure projects run smoothly, stay on budget, and actually get finished—without the usual headaches.
Project Initiation
- Kick-off Meeting – A structured meeting where the project manager, team, and key stakeholders align on goals, expectations, timelines, and responsibilities. This meeting ensures clarity and reduces misalignment from the start. - Project Repository – A central location (ClickUp, Google Drive, Notion, or Smartsheet) where all project documents, templates, and resources are stored, making collaboration seamless and preventing information silos. - Project Charter – A formal document that outlines the project’s high-level objectives, scope, key stakeholders, and initial constraints, serving as the guiding reference for the team. - Project Charter Approval – A sign-off process where leadership, clients, or sponsors approve the project charter, officially authorizing the project to proceed.
Project Planning
- Project Work Plan – A detailed breakdown of project tasks, milestones, timelines, dependencies, and assigned team members. It acts as the execution blueprint. - Requirements Document – A document specifying the project’s functional, technical, and business requirements. It prevents misinterpretation and ensures clear expectations. - Stakeholder Register – A record of all stakeholders involved, outlining their roles, level of influence, and communication preferences, ensuring effective engagement throughout the project. - Risk & Issues Log – A living document tracking potential risks, existing issues, and mitigation strategies, helping the team proactively address roadblocks. - Communications Plan – A framework that defines how project updates will be shared, who will receive them, and the frequency and format (e.g., email updates, Slack notifications, dashboards, meetings). - Training Plan – If the project involves new processes or tools, this plan outlines training sessions, learning resources, and responsibilities to ensure smooth adoption. - Plans and Requirements Document Acceptance – A formal review and approval process where stakeholders validate that all project plans and requirements align with business needs before execution.
Project Execution and Control
- Status Reports – Regular updates (weekly, biweekly, or monthly) summarizing project progress, upcoming milestones, risks, and issues, ensuring all stakeholders stay informed. - Meeting Notes & Action Items – A documented summary of discussions, decisions, and assigned tasks from each meeting, keeping accountability clear and preventing miscommunication. - Ongoing Communications – Continuous updates through project dashboards, emails, or collaboration tools like Slack or ClickUp to keep everyone aligned. - Project Change Request / Change Control – A structured process for evaluating and approving any changes to the project’s scope, timeline, or budget, ensuring controlled decision-making. - Go-Live Sign-Off / Final Project Acceptance – A formal checkpoint where stakeholders review the completed project, confirm all requirements are met, and officially approve its deployment or closure.

I had the pleasure of working with Abdullah Babur at First Page Strategy, where he played a key role in helping to set up and optimize ClickUp, as well as driving operational efficiencies across the team. Abdullah has a sharp eye for streamlining processes and implementing workflows that actually work—not just in theory, but in a way that truly supports team productivity and collaboration.

Abdullah helped our company set up ClickUp and his knowledge of the platform is impressive. He isn't an order taker, which I appreciate. He will always give his opinion on the best way to do things and digs deeper to understand how our business functions. He is a great partner for Red Shoes and I highly recommend him.
