Amareo Project Management
Amareo specialises in IT project management with a focus on providing clarity, and applying common sense to formal methodologies and practices. Projects can be managed in traditional waterfall or agile approaches, or a combination of both.
Engaging in an independent project manager can provide the separation required from an existing team to move a project through the required stages quickly, and professionally.
Professional, polished, and practical, we aim to provide clarity in the current state and in the future state through plans that are only as complicated as they need to be.

My experience collaborating with Amareo at Adobe for a major government IT project was exceptional. Their expertise in IT project management and dedication to the project's success were evident from day one. Amareo's in-depth project management knowledge and impressive communication style ensured that we had a well-structured project plan and clear milestones to follow, which were critical to the project's success. They seamlessly integrated with our delivery teams, fostering a culture of collaboration and open communication, vital for keeping all stakeholders informed and aligned. What truly sets Amareo apart is its unwavering customer-centric approach. They genuinely cared about our project's success and consistently went above and beyond to meet the project's needs.

Case Studies
Transport NSW needed a portfolio manager to sit over a range of projects and a team of project managers. Maree looked after this team of 8 project managers and the long list of projects, all at various stages. We prepared a regular portfolio status report, and facilitated the steering committee for the business to guide the projects in the portfolio.
GrainCorp needed a project manager to manage an SAP migration from physical servers to virtual servers. Maree managed this work for them without any unplanned down time of this crucial application.
Managing a merger after an acquisition is a big task – as GrainCorp acquired two new companies and formed a new division; GrainCorp Oils, Maree was brought over to manage the infrastructure integration. This work was complex and fast paced, and had to be done in a very strict time frame; we managed all the infrastructure streams of the integration including a greenfield Office 365 setup and migration, a new desktop SOE build, a new network setup and cutover of three different regional sites, a telephony cutover, a new data centre setup in the cloud, and then a data centre move.
At Stockland, Maree was called in to rescue a project that had failed and had burnt through all the funds available – we reset the project, refreshed the financials, pulled together the right team to finish the work, and delivered it to completion.
At NSW Education, Maree managed a project on behalf of a business unit. The work was technically based, but led by the business. This project was challenging as it was part of a larger program, and we had to manage multiple stakeholders across several different areas of the department. The product being developed was a web based application with Adobe commerce underpinning it – coordinating the technical teams and the data teams together was a key aspect of this project.
