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 over 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. The planning phase is where most projects succeed or fail, so here is where we lay the foundation for your success.
  • Team coordination and delivery management — I bring structure and accountability to distributed and cross-functional teams: designers, developers, subject matter experts, and client stakeholders. With over decade managing a portfolio of 25+ LMS and e-learning projects, I know how to keep concurrent projects moving, surface blockers early, and ensure handoffs between globally dispersed team members are 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.

Let’s talk about your project.

If you have a learning or performance support project that needs experienced leadership, I’d welcome the chance to hear about it.  dan@lxdintegral.com or 236-489-5226.
