The first major project I managed as a professional project manager was to design a videogame for Monterrey’s Interactive Media Cluster (MIMEC). The intention of the videogame was to teach entrepreneurs the process they would have to follow to start a business.

The project ended on time and with satisfactory results. The design of the videogame, and the execution plan was approved by the stakeholders. The game was eventually build years later by the another team.

Gama Racing Team

2003

36 races

2 cars

4 employees

My first approach to project management was to build and manage a race team with two cars over three seasons of Volks Sport Mexican racing league. Most of the work was planned and executed by our garage shop which had the experience, however I was the responsible for the budget and deliverables and had to improvise a couple of times to have everything ready for the race day. At the end we participated in all of the 36 races and had podium finishes at the end of all of the three seasons. Our sponsor was happy with the results.

During my carrier I have been involved in the design and implementation of 5 project

management and innovation methodologies.

Novus

2014

100 projects

Based on Xprize, Idea market & stage gate

Every year Tecnológico de Monterrey University holds a competition known as Novus in which teachers compete to get sponsorship for their innovation projects. Since 2012 each year the university grants 100 teachers with money so they can implement educational innovations in their classes. For 2014 I was part of the committee that redesigned the price’s process and specifications to centralize the management, include projects that didn't’t require technology, and to align with the new vice-rectory of innovation’s objectives.

Novus was a success for 2014 getting even more support from upper management to include 150 projects for 2015.

PMO

2012

13 processes

7 Project managers

Based on PMI

As head of the project management office of Tecnologico de Monterrey’s Online University, known as TecVirtual, I designed a methodology to simplify the international project management body of knowledge (PMBOK) into 13 simple processes that fitted all the necessary steps to implement projects within the university.

The methodology was used by 7 project managers in 13 different projects while I was still head of the project management office. And to my understanding its still in use today.

Practum

Templates

Practum is a project management consultancy which also gives project management training. So they have their own methodology based on the international project management institutes (PMI) body of knowledge (PMBOK).

When I worked as a project manager at Practum I executed several projects using their methodology. And I also helped create some new templates based on it for internal use.

Methodologies

MoProSoft

2008

7 roles

Based on CMMI

My first approach to a process methodology was when I was head of the project to implement MoProSoft a standardized process methodology in Educación Dinámica y Divertída (EDDI), a software development organization. MoProSoft was designed by Mexico's science and technology bureau, based on CMMI from Carnegie Mellon University. I had to understand every process, the roles involved, the deliverables and the interactions between them.

The organization achieved level 1 process certification.

Methodologies

IT & Interactive Media Development

Most of the projects I have managed involve the development and implementation of software.

The last project I managed for Monterrey’s interactive media cluster was the design of an instructional videogame that had the objective to teach people the correct process to start a business in Mexico. We did not have to develop the game but design the gamplay, characters, levels, artificial intelligence, etc. So we could define a development plan and a budget for the complete development of the project. Due to the large scope of the project people from 5 different business and externals participated in this project.

Besides the development of many small videogames I was part of the development team of a realistic project management simulator. Which took over 2 years in development. It was a 3d based videogame that required the participation of over 20 people during its development. The project was funded by Mexico's science bureau due to the use of innovative technologies. I was not the project manager for this project, but I did have a role in helping manage it.

When all the modules of the course had their own games we developed a “console” to play this games in using our own interfaces and controls.

For the Tecnologico de Monterrey’s 2013 Educational Innovation Congress we decided to have track which was not a conference but a workshop that thought the assistance the use of innovation techniques. Much like in an hackaton the assistants would be isolated from the rest of the congress for the whole day, during which time they would generate new ideas that would help improve the university.

The innovaton was such a huge success that for 2014 it was held with 150 assistants. Unfortunately I couldn't’t be the project manager that year any more.

Actualization Courses

2012

80 assistants

Tecnologico de Monterrey university offers a wide range of courses for the teachers to remain up to date in their discipline. So I was responsible to organize the courses for the subject of creativity. I managed the budget and the requirements to hire external providers to teach a group of teachers about innovation techniques during a 3 day course two times a year.

Events

Innovation Circles

2012

17 events

30 projects

In order to boost innovation within Tecnologico de Monterrey university we implemented a series of events we called innovation circles. First a team of people detect an opportunity area within the university and then we hold a meeting with a group of people involved with that opportunity area for one morning to use several creativity techniques to come up with ideas how to solve the problem in an innovative way.

During the year we follow through with the project over 17 meetings were held, 300 ideas were generated and over 30 were implemented.
