Hey all! Struggling to actually get into a PM role. I’ve got 4 years of project management experience in a BA role and currently working as a manufacturing planner for Lockheed Martin. I have my MBA,PMP, CSM and I’m trained in green belt lean six sigma. I’ve had a couple interviews that went three rounds. But told i didn’t have agile experience. Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated

Where have you applied? I have no degree, no certs, but in my experience, they didn’t care about that and just looked at my YOE (10). This isn’t a brag but I really believe it’s largely dependent on what industry you’re applying to. So if you’re getting rejected bc of no agile experience, then perhaps look at industries that don’t even require that which may mean looking outside tech.

What about PM roles at Lockheed’s competitors? 😅

Have you thought about DASM Cert? Not the best answer but it’s an option. It’s sucks that you have those creds and exp but they’re so worried about Agile. Most “traditional” projects are agile in some way anyway.

Yeah. Maybe look into LinkedIn Learning or PMI options for DASM or even Scrum would maybe apply / be more fiscally achievable. The. You can at least show training and knowledge of how to apply principles

Any info would be appreciated, thanks.
