Michal maintained a consistently current risk log that functioned as a living instrument the team actually used, rather than a document produced for compliance purposes.
I had the pleasure of working closely with Michal over the course of 5 years in demanding software development engagement, and I can say without reservation that he is one of the most capable and rigorous programme managers I have encountered in this field.
What sets Michal apart from the outset is his genuine analytical disposition. Where many programme managers treat numbers as a reporting formality, Michal uses them as a primary instrument of decision-making. He approaches schedules, resource utilisation, and delivery metrics with real depth - quickly identifying trends, surfacing anomalies, and translating raw data into clear, actionable insight for both technical and business stakeholders alike. In team discussions, he consistently arrived prepared with quantified analysis rather than assumptions, and this gave the entire Programme a firmer and more honest factual foundation.
This analytical rigour is matched by an exceptional eye for detail that permeates everything he produces. Across documentation, timelines, status reports, and handoff materials, gaps and inconsistencies that others would overlook simply did not survive his review. His thoroughness is not pedantry - it is a disciplined professional habit that, on more than one occasion, prevented minor oversights from escalating into real delivery problems. Clients and partners consistently noted the precision and reliability of materials coming from his workstream.
Michal's technical background further distinguishes him in a field where many programme managers operate at arm's length from engineering realities. He is genuinely fluent in the language of software development - comfortable with system architecture concepts, deployment pipelines, QA processes, and the practical implications of technical debt. This allows him to engage meaningfully with development teams rather than simply relaying messages between them. His ability to bridge technical execution and business expectations reduced friction considerably throughout our collaboration, and ensured that planning and estimations remained grounded in what was actually achievable.
Michal maintained a consistently current risk log that functioned as a living instrument the team actually used, rather than a document produced for compliance purposes.
He mapped dependencies systematically, communicated them clearly to all parties, and followed through persistently and professionally when action was needed. When blockers emerged, as they inevitably do, he moved swiftly to escalate, propose alternatives, and restore momentum. His capacity to hold the broad picture in view while simultaneously tracking individual threads was a consistent asset to the team.
Michal is the kind of programme manager who makes those around him more effective simply by being present. I would not hesitate to work with him again and recommend him to any organisation without qualification.

As an owner of the company where Michał works, I have had the opportunity to closely observe his work over several years, including his leadership on a complex digital transformation program for a multinational microfinance organization operating across 13 markets.
This initiative involved transforming a traditionally offline, field-based lending model into a modern, scalable digital ecosystem, including mobile applications for both customers and loan officers, as well as deep integration with core banking systems. The project required not only strong delivery capabilities, but also a deep understanding of business processes, regulatory constraints, and cross-market scalability challenges.

At the same time, he ensured disciplined delivery, maintaining clarity, predictability, and high standards across the project lifecycle.
Throughout the engagement, Michał demonstrated:

Spokój pod presją He approaches, will look, peck and either will indicate the point at which you have to hit to make wall disintegrated into pieces, as if it was not there, or indicates that there is another way, as good as the previous one, where there is no wall!
Every day at work we encounter problems, things that are blocking us, stand like a wall in front of us, on the path that leads to the goal. What we do then? We stand and we beat our head against the wall, hoping that it will disappear.
This, however, is not necessary as Michael is nearby. He approaches, will look, peck and either will indicate the point at which you have to hit to make wall disintegrated into pieces, as if it was not there, or indicates that there is another way, as good as the previous one, where there is no wall!
It's good that in the world are people who have a sober look at surranding and are able to remain calm facing the wall, and then just move on.
