Approach · From healthcare to projects
Healthcare taught me to run projects.
Every therapy plan is a small project: assess the need, set goals, coordinate a team, document everything and measure progress. I now do the same in tech.
Same skills, new setting
| Skill | In healthcare & research | In project work |
|---|---|---|
| Assess | Diagnostic assessment | Discovery and requirements |
| Plan | Therapy goals and plans | Scope, milestones and priorities |
| Coordinate | Care teams and families | Cross-functional stakeholders |
| Document | Clinical notes and research data | Briefs, templates and project documentation |
| Measure | Progress tracking and statistics | Status reporting and outcomes |
| Simplify | Explaining care to clients | Clear outputs from complex topics |
Methods
Methods I use, and where
My default is a hybrid model: a clear plan, scope and priorities up front, then delivery in short iterations with regular feedback.
| Method | What it means | Where I used it |
|---|---|---|
| Hybrid project model | Traditional planning, agile delivery | Secure Privacy content projects |
| Prioritisation | Importance and urgency, ranked P1, P2, P3 | Content quality & visibility recovery |
| Iterative delivery | Audit, fix, verify, then repeat | Site-by-site rollout |
| Pilot and phased rollout | Prove it on a small set first | First 50 GDPR regulation pages |
| Gap analysis | Market, regulation, company and user needs side by side | EU AI Act readiness |
| Stakeholder communication | Weekly updates, Slack, short briefs | CEO and developer at Secure Privacy |
| Prototyping | Review the format before production | GDPR enforcement series |
| SMART goals and dashboards | Measurable targets, tracked over time | JOGO Health: leads, conversion and retention |
| RACI, Gantt, risk levels | Roles, schedule and risk response | Project management course, IHM |
