Stuck in a BA / Consultant role. Any tips on how I can transition into a PM or Scrum Role? 9 yrs experience, MS, BS in IT related fields, CSM Cert. 2 years agile experience. PMP to be taken.

The reason i ask is because you will need to demonstrate the ability to lead and coordinate activities in PM. Pmp is just a cert that shows you get the concepts

Health IT was a long term career goal. Generic enough and in consulting. But overtime I’ve realized that’s limited also. Someone suggested I learn a new technology or go towards AWS Cert or Cloud Technology.

9 years in the same role? Or 9 years in that industry.

Why PM? What do you like about it?

So what do you recommend as a next step in my career then?

Also, I have demonstrated PM skills but under a BA title. Looking for a new place to find a new role as PM or Agile Scrum.

I see. Maybe recruiters or people are labeling you. Take a second look at your resume compared to that of a current PM

True. Will do. However, in your experience, an agile scrum PM would be a better direction than a regular PM role? Or does it all depend on which company and how they define these roles?

Scrum is bigger in tech. Traditional PM with PMP better for long range stragey projects or true PMO companies

That’s helpful. Thanks! I personally think I can prove myself for a Scrum Master role. However, what’s the next step after that? PMs generally can have a better future track to move upwards with strategy goals, versus a Scrum person who is just getting requirements done. I guess Program Management could possibly be a role after an intense Scrum role with heavy domain knowledge.
I am starting to see the danger in generalizing but it’s common sense to think two steps ahead.

MS in Info systems and technology management

Ah ok. MIS. Nice. I honestly don't think PMP or agile certs are necessary. Just experience and influencing needed for your case. A lot of it depends on your long career goals which i dont sense is set yet.

Limited meaning not many positions as a Scrum Master in Health IT consulting or non consulting companies. Or am I wrong? Maybe I should do a Strength Finder test?

All i think about when i hear Healthcare IT consulting is EHR implementation which really does require scrum and PM skills. Do you have any experience with EHRs?
