Helping Projects Move Forward Clearly, Confidently, and On Time

Fractional leadership and tailored project management services for startups, suppliers, and automotive teams that need results without unnecessary complexity.

About THE FOUNDER

I am Debra Sydnor-Pickett, founder of BEELIN Project Management Services, LLC.

With over 15 years of automotive program leadership, I’ve helped startups and small-to-mid-size suppliers deliver projects on time, on budget, and in full compliance with customer expectations.

I specialize in three areas where projects often stumble:

1. Communication & Stakeholder Management – Ensuring the right people get the right information at the right time.

2. Kickoff Preparation & Execution – Setting projects on a strong foundation with clear roles, risks, and responsibilities.

3. APQP Compliance – Managing documentation, gate reviews, and cross-functional teams to keep suppliers aligned and customers satisfied.

My mission is simple: to bring clarity, structure, and leadership so your teams can focus on execution and results.

Core Expertise

01.

Communication & Stakeholder Management

Projects often fail not because of technical issues, but because information doesn’t reach the right people at the right time. I ensure communication is clear, expectations are managed, and stakeholders remain aligned throughout the lifecycle.

02.

Strategic Project Planning

A strong plan is the foundation of every successful project. I build clear, realistic plans that balance scope, schedule, budget, and resources so execution is smoother and results are predictable.

03.

Risk Management & Mitigation

Unexpected challenges are inevitable. What matters is anticipating risks early and addressing them before they derail progress. I help teams identify risks, prepare contingencies, and stay resilient.

04.

Leadership & Team Empowerment

Leadership is not just about direction, it’s about engagement. I empower teams to take ownership, build confidence, and perform at their best by creating an environment of inclusion and accountability.

05.

Kickoff Preparation & Execution

The first meeting sets the tone for everything. I make sure kickoff sessions are clear, structured, and energizing, with roles, responsibilities, and risks defined from day one.

06.

APQP & Quality Compliance

For automotive suppliers, compliance isn’t optional it’s critical. I simplify Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) by managing documentation, gate reviews, and timelines so teams deliver what OEMs expect.

07.

Process Design & Simplification

Complex workflows waste time and resources. I design streamlined, practical processes that reduce friction, improve efficiency, and free up teams to focus on what matters most.

08.

Continuous Improvement

Projects don’t end at delivery. I help organizations capture lessons learned, refine processes, and build a culture of continuous improvement that sustains long-term success.
