February

During this month, I spent most of my time coordinating the logistics for conducting interviews for the KPI project. It was a frustrating task because it's hard to get people to commit to hour interview when they have other things with higher priorities on their plates.

Also eTracker5 project got approval and budget for implementation at the HO IT Council meeting On February 8th. I am assigned as IT Business Analyst to work with a new hired Project Manager for implementing the IT components of the project.

Working on eTracker5 project has given me a complete exposure to the Project Delivery Framework which is a standard way of doing projects within Shell.

January

January was a busy month.. the majority of work was regarding the preparation of Investment Proposals that are going to IT Council meeting in February for approval.
Other than that, I got involved with another project related to KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). The goal for this project is to gather information from Mining units on how KPIs are used and how they are calculated. This would help to standardize the process of calculating and using the indicators. We had to setup over 30 interviews with Mine Operators to gather the required information (tough job!).
