Became a Project Manager in the mid-80's and was asked to form a Project Support Office in 1990-1. The focus at that time was on planning and financial standards and controls for the IT projects being run by the authority.
I became an expert in the use of 'Project Manager Workbench' a user configurable planning tool and migrated from DOS into Windows versions over the next couple of years.
Once the PSO was established I took a more oversight role and moved back into a programnme management role.
