I have a focused, 10-day initiative to automate part of our software development workflow, and I need a seasoned project manager to keep every moving piece on track. The objective is crystal-clear: streamline our development process and boost efficiency, from requirements grooming through to the first automated build. In these ten days you’ll be coordinating a small, cross-functional team of developers and DevOps engineers, removing roadblocks, and ensuring every task that feeds into the automation layer is completed on time. The scope is limited to the development stage only—no testing or deployment automation for now—so all your energy can go toward organising sprints, documenting progress, and validating that each scripted task genuinely cuts manual touchpoints. I already have basic tooling in place (Jira, Slack, and a GitLab CI pipeline). What I need from you is the structured oversight: daily check-ins, schedule adherence, risk mitigation, and clear communication with stakeholders who want concise, jargon-free updates. You should be comfortable building a lightweight Gantt or Kanban board, prioritising tickets, and flagging anything that threatens our tight timeline. Deliverables (all due by Day 10): • Detailed project schedule with resource assignments • Daily progress summaries and risk log • End-of-project report measuring efficiency gains against our baseline If you’ve driven short-cycle software automation projects before and can slot in immediately, let’s talk.

Hi, You need an experienced project manager to coordinate a short 10-day development automation sprint, focusing on task orchestration, workflow efficiency, daily reporting, and ensuring all development-stage improvements are delivered within a tightly controlled timeline. Do you already have a clearly defined baseline for “current development efficiency” (e.g., average cycle time per ticket or lead time per feature), or should part of the initial work include establishing these KPIs? With 15 years of experience in software delivery management, Agile execution, and workflow optimization, I specialize in running fast paced, high focus engineering sprints where the priority is removing bottlenecks, improving throughput, and ensuring tight coordination between development and DevOps teams. This is a placeholder bid; we can finalize scope and cost on the message board. Happy to share my portfolio in chat upon request. Kind Regards, Imran Arshad

You want a tight 10-day run that turns manual dev work into repeatable scripts and keeps everyone on task. I’ll focus purely on the development-stage automation, remove blockers, and make every scripted task reduce manual touchpoints. The real risk is scope creep and stalled tickets. My job will be to keep the team synced, surface risks early, and validate that each script actually replaces a human step. I recently led a 10-day push for a small fintech team to automate build steps with GitLab CI. I set up a Kanban in Jira, ran daily standups, and delivered the first automated build while cutting manual steps roughly in half. I’ll create a day-by-day schedule with resource assignments, run 15-minute daily check-ins, maintain a risk log, prioritize tickets in Jira, and validate each scripted task against a manual-touch checklist. I can start immediately. Can you grant read access to the GitLab repo and the Jira board so I can draft Day 1’s schedule and risk list?
