About Pierre

Most projects don't derail during execution.
They derail beforehand — unclear scope, ignored dependencies,
deadlines set without real analysis.

This is exactly what I fix.

WHAT I DO
I take on two types of assignments:

Upfront project structuring: scoping, WBS,
dependency identification, realistic planning, and stakeholder alignment before launch.

Turning around struggling projects: auditing the existing situation, re-evaluating scope and constraints, rebuilding a reliable plan, and presenting it to decision-makers.

WHAT SETS ME APART
I co-founded Orchesia, a SaaS software designed to structure projects before they derail. I've written 40+ reference articles on project management. I train project leaders in incubators on scoping and planning.

I don't just theorize. I've managed construction projects with budgets up to €500,000, rebuilt a failing IT project plan for a public institution, and led a SaaS product from end to end.

TYPES OF ASSIGNMENTS
Scoping and project structuring, audit and replanning,
outsourced Product Owner, Agile coaching, stakeholder management.

If your project needs structure, I can build it.
