    Delivered a 9-month ERP migration 3 weeks early and $180K under budget by restructuring vendor sprints and weekly risk reviews across 4 workstreams.

    The CAFE rewrite works for project manager roles because it names the situation, what you did, and a result recruiters can scan in seconds. The typical bullet lists duties. The stronger version shows cause, action, findings, and effect in one line.

    3 resume tips for Project Manager

    1. Name the project type, size, or stakeholder group so "managed projects" becomes credible.
    2. Budget and timeline wins are easy for recruiters to scan. Include them when you have them.
    3. Explain one mechanism: risk reviews, sprint planning, vendor management, not generic "ensured deliverables."
