🪖Stepping out of military boots and into the world of project management is a challenging transition, but one I'm excited to make. With my experience in the military, I've mastered adaptability, leading diverse teams, and overcoming obstacles with resilience. Now, as I dive into PMP, I'm translating those skills into a new mission – one project at a time. 🪂As a jumpmaster turned project manager, I know that orders transform into project plans and mission success becomes synonymous with project completion. I'm bringing the discipline, ability to thrive under pressure, and strategic thinking honed in the military as the pillars of my approach to PMP. 🧭This journey isn't just about changing careers; it's about carrying the camaraderie, the sense of duty, and the spirit of "never leave a mission unfinished" into the realm of project management. So, here's to a new chapter, where every learned salute transforms into a confident handshake, and where the uniform might change, but the commitment to excellence remains unwavering. #MilitaryToPMP #MissionProjectManagement

"Based on what you've told me, you may not need the PMP yet. Have you considered the CAPM?" Them: The PMP is all I know about. (𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳) Look-- The Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is: • one of the most in-demand certifications • one of the most valuable certifications in 2024 • one of the most requested certifications by Employers • the 𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙙 in project management And it's one of the 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙'𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙚𝙙 and respected certifications. That doesn't mean you need to earn it (yet). Check out #TheUltimatePMPGuide at https://lnkd.in/eByZCw6t 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗽𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀... Consider the Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® The CAPM training and exam focus on four areas: • Agile frameworks and methodologies • Business analysis frameworks • Predictive plan-based methodologies • Project management core concepts and fundamentals In addition to expanding project management knowledge... CAPM candidates develop leadership skills through the certification process. Entry-level practitioners can learn to manage teams effectively in various work environments. The certification process also teaches project management and leadership fundamentals, which typically include the following. • Human resource management • Project and organization lifecycle • Project integration management • Project management processes • Project scope management • Quality management • Stakeholder and communications management • Time, cost and risk management So... If you don't yet qualify for the PMP, consider the CAPM. I wish I knew about this earlier in my military career. I could have managed projects more effectively. #QuickNote #ProjectManagement #Military #Leadership #CAPM  

Passed the PMP exam yesterday. Going through the preparation for this certification was a real eye-opener. I enjoyed seeing where my experiences in the military have paralleled and diverged from comparable processes in the civilian world. Broad strokes: the military decision making process (MDMP) looks a lot like predictive project management and often drove planning at levels multiple echelons above my duties. The units I've spent my career working in have functioned much more like hybrid or agile teams, adjusting on the fly with an iterative approach (and often self organizing around specialties) while always trying to nest within larger predictive processes. What's got two thumbs and likes being a nerd? This guy. Curious to hear thoughts on the topic from other folks that have transitioned from the military into the civilian project management space.
