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 got my PMP from Project Management Institute back in 2019 after 6 months of courses, study and Atlanta PMI meetings. It was an interesting experience meshing my stage management past experience with work experience and filling on the "blanks" of why projects I had worked on or saw went shall we say sideways. The required continuing education to maintain the certification keep the principles fresh in my brain as time moves on. I even guest lecture at Georgia State MBA programs quarterly to discuss Project Management in Arts and Entertainment industries.
