One of the first things I want to improve is in Project Management.
Being in the tech field for almost 10 years I’ve seen many projects being sunk by bad “PM’ing”. Also many of them saved from disaster because of PM. PM as I see it goes beyond the administrative part of the projects that I was lead to believe in college. I see it now as a discipline that involves many skills, ranging from personal skills such as organization, negotiation, empathy, adaptation, to technical skills such as monitoring, planning, delivering, etc.
As a first step to improve myself on this area, I’ve decided to get involved with the organization recognized as the worldwide authority in Project Management: The PMI.
I’ve just got the membership and will be pursuing the CAPM® credentials as my first objective for the next 6 months.
