Project Management Professional (PMP) Discussions
Certification

Does having a PMP certification hold any water in digital media? Do folks care? I’ve been using PMI resources to help solve problems / improve stuff at my org, and I’m tempted to get the full cert but I’m not sure if it’d actually mean anything / have a meaningful impact on my career or pay.

It’s not a huge investment in time or money but if it doesn’t have much of an impact I’d rather just keep reading free resources online on my own time

Hello everyone,
Can anybody suggest as a PM, what certification will benefit me more Scrum Master or PMP certification?
Please help.

Best / cheayway to study for PMP?

EA scores

Took my first GMAC official practice EA and scored a 159. From what I read, that translates to roughly a 155 real-test.

Anyone with experience on the GMAC practice tests and then getting their real scores?

My goal is Darden or Ross next year. GI bill funds both really well.

Hello tech 🐟. I come in peace. I hate consulting within the SDLC and am looking to become more tech product focused. I have done project, program, and product management over the years. It’s been all implementations with upfront strategy work.

QUESTION: how can this old guy start sounding more techie and less MBAish? I am not trying to boil the ocean at this point.
