Steven D. Kelly is a compassionate Senior Project Manager, Change Management Practitioner, and CMMI Consultant with over 35+ years of dedicated experience in guiding enterprise technology programs, process improvement initiatives, and organizational change. He thoughtfully supports teams through challenges, often reminding them that what may seem like a "total disaster" can be an "unplanned learning opportunity," a chance for growth when things take unexpected turns.He has managed multi-million-dollar portfolios, guided organizations to CMMI Maturity Level 3, and spent enough time in the trenches to know that the real chaos rarely shows up in the risk register. That gap, between what the frameworks say and what actually happens on Monday morning, is what inspired this book.He holds certifications in CSPO®, Prosci® Change Management, Scrum®, Lean Six Sigma®, OKR®, and degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Software Engineering, and Human Resource Management. He has served as an adjunct professor at a private university, where he taught graduate-level project management and Agile practices.Steven resides in the St. Louis, Missouri, region and works on projects with global impact, where projects are real and lessons are earned.
