Nortel Government Solutions
Project Manager / Manager
Project Manager of the Defender Services Management Information System (DSMIS) developed for the Administrative Office of the United States Courts to track and manage a nationwide budget of over $600 million dollars. Successfully directed the implementation of and Informix Database, 70 complex financial reports, and over 100 JAVA based data entry screens. DSMIS was developed as an umbrella system, integrating information contained in numerous databases for reporting and analytical purposes without replacing those systems. Before DSMIS, the staff budget analysts gathered information from disparate, non-integrated systems and applications. Information necessary to evaluate business information, program performance and costs was not conveniently available and was not easily manipulated. DSMIS alleviated these problems and left more time for the staff to produce meaningful, high-quality analysis. As a development team project manager, Jorge Galindo implemented Earned Value Management analysis, adhered to the internal Project Management Organization and System Development Life Cycle requirements, and communicated status of project efforts effectively to deliver a project that was ahead of schedule, under budget expectations, and within scope requirements. Dr. Galindo also led and designed the maintenance process for the continuous improvement of the Defender Services Management Information System by implementing an issue management system that included a government led prioritization scheme and monthly version release deployment.

Responsible for the coordination of issues related to the continuous improvement of the World Health Organizations Personnel Administration System (PAS) including defect tracking, requirements engineering, integration and testing, individual and group trainings, and the communication of progress to the Chief of Personnel and Staff.
