Hi everyone,
Here's a Thursday Thought: Project Management. Who here has official training or a certification? I have a pot of staff education money I can take advantage of, and I'm wondering if official project management training (and/or certification) would truly be a benefit to me, or if the money would be better spent elsewhere. I've been a part of so many projects over the years, but still, training I wouldn't have to pay for... :-) What would you do?
I've gone through a Google Coursera certification program that was quite good. It walked through the timeline of a project, the constituent parts, data artefacts, and so forth. No one course will be fully comprehensive, but I found that one to be well-paced and very educational. Would recommend!
If you can get your org to pay for it (Professional Development!) then that's even better.
