About
About RAGnRAID
RAGnRAID is the delivery-control brand of James Beatty, a PMP-accredited Senior IT / Technical Project Manager focused on finance and insurance technology change. The name reflects the two control surfaces at the centre of the work — clear RAG status and disciplined RAID management.
Background
Senior IT / Technical Project Manager
James Beatty is a PMP-accredited Senior IT / Technical Project Manager with 30+ years of international IT experience across infrastructure, networks, software, process improvement, service delivery, and complex transformation.
Core delivery experience spans regulated and business-critical environments including banking, insurance, utilities, and public-sector delivery — with strong experience in cloud migration, data-centre exit, infrastructure migration, legacy remediation, monitoring and observability, mainframe migration, storage transformation, data migration, supplier-heavy delivery, and service transition.
The approach combines senior technical project delivery with RAID discipline, governance cadence, executive reporting standards, and practical project-control workflow improvement.
RAGnRAID is delivery-led, not tool-led. I work within the client's approved delivery framework, governance model, and tooling. The focus is always on getting the work delivered: clearer plans, sharper RAID control, better reporting, stronger follow-through, and fewer surprises.
Positioning boundaries
Plain-speaking about positioning
RAGnRAID does not claim a formal Senior IT Programme Manager title - the truthful primary positioning is Senior IT / Technical Project Manager.
The delivery experience includes programme-scale delivery environments and programme-level planning and governance — this is stated as capability context, not as a claimed role title.
