Lead it.

I’m Dan Bashaw, PMP — a learning and performance support systems professional working through LXD Integral Learning Ltd. I manage the projects that bring learning and performance support systems to life — here’s what that looks like when you need someone to lead the build.

You have a project that needs to come together.

You have a team — internal, contracted, or a mix of both — a timeline, a set of stakeholders, and a learning or performance support project that needs to land on time, on budget, and at the quality level your organization expects. You need a project manager who understands the domain deeply enough to make good decisions under pressure, not just track tasks.

I’m a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) with nearly a decade of experience managing learning technology and e-learning projects. I’ve led globally distributed creative and development teams, run multi-stakeholder discovery and planning processes, and managed project portfolios spanning platform deployments, course builds, and system integrations — typically with teams of 3–10 people on projects ranging from four months to a year.

Why that scale matters

Not every project needs a PM who’s managed hundred-person teams and eight-figure budgets. Many of the organizations building learning and performance support systems today are lean — small teams, tight budgets, and an increasing reliance on AI tooling to extend capacity. That’s precisely the environment where a PM who can also do the work adds the most value. I don’t just manage the plan; I understand the build well enough to unblock problems, evaluate quality, and make informed trade-offs when scope, timeline, and resources collide.

What “Lead it” looks like in practice

  • Project planning and discovery — I facilitate discovery workshops and needs analysis sessions that translate business goals into clear project requirements, KPIs, and realistic timelines. For a national industry association, I led the planning and analysis process for a complex bilingual LMS deployment, aligning diverse stakeholder requirements into a deliverable scope. The planning phase is where most projects succeed or fail, and I invest accordingly.
  • Team coordination and delivery management — I bring structure and accountability to distributed and cross-functional teams: designers, developers, subject matter experts, and client stakeholders. Over nearly a decade managing a portfolio of 25+ LMS and e-learning systems, I kept concurrent projects moving, surfaced blockers early, and ensured handoffs between globally dispersed team members were clean.
  • Multi-stakeholder communication — Learning projects typically involve business sponsors, subject matter experts, technical teams, and end users — groups with different priorities and vocabularies. I manage those conversations so that decisions get made and the project doesn’t stall.
  • Compliance and documentation — I’ve managed projects with complex reporting and compliance requirements, including coordinating SR&ED research documentation across 3,000+ hours of R&D activity for federal funding eligibility. If your project has regulatory, accessibility, or institutional documentation needs, I know how to build that into the workflow without letting it consume the timeline.
