📈 Data Analytics¶
Data enables visibility, action, and accountability. As a Technical Project Manager, I use analytics to identify delivery risks, expose operational inefficiencies, and improve cross-functional coordination. This page highlights applied analytics across real-world projects and graduate-level training—with a focus on execution, not abstraction.
🛠 Real-World Analytics in Practice¶
✅ Asana AI Reporting for Project Risk¶
- Used Asana’s built-in AI to surface risk indicators, missed deadlines, and task velocity drops across parallel workstreams.
- Automated reports exported for weekly status calls with product owners and technical leads.
- Delivered early warnings and improved sprint closure predictability.
📊 Service Ops Dashboards via Smartsheet¶
- Designed Smartsheet dashboards to visualize NetSuite ticket volume, aging trends, and SLA compliance.
- Enabled Finance, IT, and Ops leaders to triage issues by type and urgency—reducing misalignment and delays.
- Created automated alerts to flag ticket stalling and SLA breaches.
🧾 NetSuite Saved Searches & Reporting¶
- Built and managed saved searches to deliver real-time visibility into finance and operations for 300+ internal and client users.
- Used formula fields to transform raw ERP records into metrics like AP aging, journal mismatch flags, and vendor exception patterns.
- Scheduled report emails and dashboards to reduce ad hoc exports and improve cadence of insight delivery.
- Enabled self-service analytics for Finance and client teams, cutting turnaround time on reporting requests.
📌 Result: Embedded real-time ERP analytics directly into operational decision-making.
🔁 Cross-Platform ETL Automation¶
- Python-based ETL: Automated Box → Vena file ingestion with schema validation and naming convention checks.
- SQL for Ad Hoc Analytics: Queried ERP and operational systems to support reporting needs.
- Power Automate Pipelines:
- Outlook → Smartsheet parsing for onboarding and ticket intake.
- Microsoft Teams post → Smartsheet sync for HR/IT workflows.
- Built structured intake layers to support multi-department collaboration.
📌 Result: Eliminated spreadsheet-driven churn and improved accuracy, traceability, and confidence in cross-platform reporting.
📈 Project Metrics & Governance¶
I embed operational analytics into every program I manage—using data to guide retrospectives, validate assumptions, and surface execution risks early.
Metric Type | Use Case |
---|---|
Sprint velocity | Track bottlenecks and delivery slowdowns across sprints |
Ticket backlog aging | Surface SLA violations and help triage prioritization |
Forecast accuracy | Validate timeline expectations and onboarding throughput |
Reconciliation metrics | Detect ERP sync issues across NetSuite, Ramp, Smartsheet |
🎓 Academic Foundation in Analytics¶
As part of my M.S. in Organizational Leadership, I completed a graduate course in Data-Driven Decision Making, applying real-world forecasting and statistical models to business use cases.
Key Competencies Gained:¶
Technique | Tools & Methods |
---|---|
Descriptive statistics | Mean, median, variance, five-number summary |
Inferential statistics | t-tests, ANOVA, confidence intervals |
Correlation & regression | Pearson r, linear regression, scatterplots |
Forecasting | Time series models, moving averages, Excel modeling |
Storytelling | Data-backed summaries, KPI dashboards |
💊 Capstone Project: PainSmart¶
Objective: Design a workplace wellness strategy to reduce opioid prescriptions through alternative pain management.
- Used public health data to build statistical comparison models.
- Conducted t-tests showing significant improvement (p < 0.05).
- Built regression forecasts with and without the proposed intervention.
- Designed a rollout plan with executive-ready metrics and visualizations.

💡 Analytics Philosophy¶
“Insight is only valuable when it transforms behavior.”
Whether automating a forecast intake, tracking SLA violations, or guiding leadership through execution risks, my analytics work always drives alignment, clarity, and better outcomes—not just reporting for reporting’s sake.
