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 have my CAPM from the Project Management Institute - I've been considering going back for the PMP or even a more specific PMP - I also used my staff education money to pay for it :) I think it's helpful to see the structure surrounding traditional project management vs just having to learn because you've been made in charge of the project! Also just a really great professional development opportunity since it's a certification that is highly recognized and respected and even stated as a requirement/preference in job descriptions.
