Hello everyone! I’m Abhijeet, a PMP‑certified Project Scheduler and Project Controller with over 15 years of experience supporting EPCM, energy, pharmaceutical, and automation projects across India, Canada, and Europe. My background includes developing and managing Level 1–4 schedules in Primavera P6 and MS Project, conducting critical path and risk analyses, and enabling data‑driven project decisions through tools such as Power BI.
Throughout my career, I’ve contributed to large‑scale global initiatives by improving schedule reliability, optimizing resource utilization, and helping teams achieve measurable cost and schedule efficiencies. I’ve also supported high‑value engineering and automation programs that were delivered ahead of plan and with strong financial performance.

Replying to Cameron Batts
...
Name and Current Role My name is Cameron Batts. I am an Operations Manager in Diagnostic Imaging for the United States Air Force, where I have served for 16 years. I am also currently completing the Accelerated MSQM program at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business. What did you want to be when you were growing up? I was always interested in technology and systems. I wanted to work in a field that required technical expertise and the ability to lead teams through complex tasks, which led me to my career in military healthcare operations. Favorite PM tools and technologies (or ones to learn)? I focus heavily on data visualization and use R and Pythonfor analysis. As I prepare for the PMP exam, I am interested in learning more about how industry-standard project management software can be used to track performance and improve accuracy in large-scale operations. What drew you to the project management industry? What's kept you in it? My background in healthcare administration and military service made project management a practical career choice. I appreciate the focus on clear structure and the ability to manage risk. I stay in this field because I enjoy the process of refining workflows and finding ways to make operations more efficient. What's your proudest accomplishment (personal or professional)? My proudest professional achievement is completing 16 years of military service while consistently pursuing higher education. Managing full-time clinical operations while earning an MBA and now a Master’s from Duke has been a significant and rewarding challenge.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Amanda Anipu, a project and programme management professional with over 12 years of experience supporting donor-funded and development programmes across agribusiness, inclusive finance, youth and women’s economic empowerment, and market systems development, primarily in Ghana and Sub-Saharan Africa.
My background spans programme coordination, stakeholder engagement, work planning, budget oversight, and results tracking, working with NGOs, private sector partners, and development institutions. I’m particularly interested in how strong project management practices can strengthen impact delivery in complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
I recently joined this community to learn, exchange practical tools, and stay current with evolving project management approaches, especially in adaptive, development-focused contexts.
I look forward to connecting, learning from your experiences, and contributing where I can.
Warm regards
Welcome to PMI's online community, Amanda! We're looking forward to learning from you too. Saving Changes...
I’m Sayanta from Bengaluru, India. I work in the technology space and am on a continuous learning journey in the field of project management. I enjoy understanding how people, ideas, and plans come together, and how collaboration and structure support meaningful outcomes.
Outside of work, I like to keep a balance between being active, creative, and exploring new places. I enjoy playing football and cricket, which I find refreshing and energizing. I also like cooking and trying out new recipes, and I find it a relaxing way to spend time and unwind.
Travel is something I truly love. Exploring new cities, experiencing different cultures, and meeting new people gives me a sense of excitement and curiosity. I enjoy observing everyday life in different places and collecting small experiences along the way.
I also have a love for the arts and music, which bring calm and rhythm into my routine.
I’m happy to be part of the PMI community and look forward to connecting, learning, and sharing experiences with all of you.
