Data systems and financial records

A delivery system, not a hope.

Software projects slip when scope, risk and communication are left to chance. Every engagement runs on the same five steps, and each one leaves an artifact you can inspect.

1. Discover

Understand the operation, the stakeholders and the numbers that matter before any code is written.

Example artifact Stakeholder map

WhoWhat they needInvolvement
Owner / sponsorDecides scope and budgetDecides
Operations leadA tool they can use dailyDaily
FinanceAudit-ready recordsReviews
Field staffFast, simple data entryDaily

Artifacts: Stakeholder map, Problem statement, Success KPIs.

2. Scope

Turn goals into a bounded plan: what is in, what is out, and what it costs in time.

Example artifact Scope document

In scope

  • Sales and expense capture
  • Role-based access
  • Monthly report export

Not in this release

  • Payroll
  • Native mobile app
  • Accounting software sync

Artifacts: Scope document, Roadmap, Architecture sketch.

3. Sprint

Short iterations with a visible board, working demos and early feedback.

Example artifact Sprint board

To do

  • Expense categories
  • Export to CSV

In progress

  • Daily revenue dashboard
  • Staff roles and permissions

Done

  • Login and two-factor
  • Sales entry form

Artifacts: Sprint board, Weekly demo, Decision log.

4. Ship

Release with tests, data checks and a handover your team can actually run.

Example artifact Release checklist

  • Automated tests passing
  • Data migrated and checked
  • Runbook written
  • Team trained
  • Rollback plan ready

Artifacts: Release notes, Runbook, Training session.

5. Govern

Keep risk, quality and scope under control, then measure the result against the KPIs.

Example artifact Risk register

Artifacts: Risk register, KPI dashboard, Retrospective.

  • Architecture and risk review
  • Costed delivery roadmap

Fixed-scope Web App or Dashboard Build

SMEs that need an operational tool: KPIs, records, workflows, reporting.

You get

  • Working, tested application
  • KPI and audit-ready reporting
  • Handover and documentation

Technical Delivery Lead (fractional TPM)

Teams with developers but no one owning cadence, risk and stakeholder communication.

You get

  • Sprint planning and governance
  • Stakeholder reporting

Portrait of David Ouatedem
Yaoundé, Cameroon. Works in English and French.

From building systems to delivering them.

I started as a software engineer: designing APIs, building web applications and working with data-heavy systems. Over time I found that the hardest problems were rarely technical. They were about scope, communication and keeping a team pointed at the outcome.

That is why I am completing an MBA in Project Management. I want to run delivery with the same rigour I bring to code: clear scope, visible progress, honest risk reporting, and results measured in business terms.

  1. Engineer

    Built web applications, APIs and database-backed systems.

  2. Delivery

    Took ownership of scope, sprints and stakeholder alignment.

  3. MBA Now

    Formalising project management and business leadership.

Straight answers.

How does an engagement work?

We start with a short call to understand the problem. If it is a fit, I propose a scoped plan with deliverables and a timeline. Work then runs in short sprints with a visible board and regular demos.

Do you work across time zones?

Yes. I am based in Cameroon (UTC+1), which overlaps well with Europe and the Americas, and I run async updates so progress never depends on a meeting.

Which languages can we work in?

English and French, for both delivery and documentation.

How is pricing structured?

Pricing depends on scope. After a first call I send a clear, itemised quote so you know what you are paying for before we start.

Are you open to full-time roles?

Yes, I am open to Technical Project Manager, IT Project Manager, Product Owner and Delivery Officer roles. Download the resume above or reach out directly.

What happens after launch?

Every build ends with a runbook, a handover session and a retrospective. Ongoing support is available if you want it, never forced.
