Project Manager, Telenet, Antwerp Area, Belgium
As a Line Manager within Project Management Office (PMO) Organization I led a team of Global Project Managers. Franz worked within my team as Senior Project Manager for SAP projects in different domains.
He coordinated the work of the technical SAP teams in Nokia IT and the Business owner in different parts of the company. His responsibility was to make sure the scope of the project was executed in a timely manner and within budget following strict quality guidelines. Franz managed large virtual international teams located in different time zones. He managed large projects as well as several smaller projects simultaneously. His work involved SAP ERP modules Material Management (MM), Production Planning (PP) and Sales and Distribution (SD) as well as NetWeaver components.
All his tasks he executed with great passion and reliability. His excellent project management skills enabled him to keep on track during critical phases.
Besides his work, Franz also participated actively in various workgroups (project management governance, agile project management etc.) to develop the way of working in the PMO.

Franz was heading the project SBM CR Phase 1 and Phase 2. These two phases were to bring SOA adoption in maintaining critical data within ERP based systems… I acted as scrum master and a product owner in these projects.
With his high expertise in the area of project management, he streamlined the process in a way that project deadlines are met without any strain… Irrespective of technical complexity or infrastructure issues, Franz´s way of dealing with conflicts was always a direct and transparent approach. This brings motivation for the execution team.
Communication to stakeholders were ON and well informed all times. On the other way stakeholders expectation and objective was communicated effectively to the execution team to share common objective.
His strong expertise across projects, helps to bring an effective Risk management to the table, which strongly helped in prioritizing the tasks as an execution person.
With that experience, Franz was never hesitant to seek information for his own understanding from any of his most junior resources at any time, by directly calling or visiting them.
I am very proud to work along with Franz. I learned a lot in terms of project management from Franz, which is currently helping me in my current role as technical developer @ SAP & in also other idea driven executions.
