ProjectWizards GmbH
Hello, my name is Stefanie Blome, and at ProjectWizards I take care of sales, accounting, human resources management and whatever else comes up in administration. I also support Frank Blome in the management as his assistant.
On the blog I mostly write about project management methods and topics, such as agile methods, lean management, the Pareto principle, time blocking or sustainability in projects, and about news from our team.
I describe the tools I use every day, from Merlin Project and adoc Studio to invoicing software, in the article What is on my computer.
Do you have any questions or would you like to connect with me?
