Before you answer just do a PG, bare with me.
We’re finding agencies want the freedom and variety of PMP but the certainty of PGs. Is there a way we can set PMPs up that can guarantee delivery? Is there a hack like a dual deal on a SSP? Any ideas are welcomed.
For those of you who cleared Practitioner successfully, I’d appreciate if you could give me tips on how to clear it , how did you prepare for it, how long did it take you to prepare for the exam and how many hours a day did you spend on it , where did you get your study material from , can I prepare for it while having another job Monday to Thursday?
I've been a PM for six years and I genuinely thought AI tools would make my job lighter by now. They haven't, really, and I've been trying to figure out why.
Last quarter we shipped a feature three weeks late because a descoping decision happened in a Slack thread, never made it into Jira, and three engineers kept building something we'd already agreed to cut. Nobody dropped the ball. The context just evaporated - and as we saw with the recent Claude outage where users lost massive amounts of their saved data, relying on external tools to remember for us is becoming a systemic risk. And that's on the system, not the people.
Most AI features I've seen do roughly the same thing: summarize meetings, suggest task names, send reminders. Automation for the symptoms, not the problem.
And I need something that will live inside the workflow: understands the task, the discussion around it, the doc it references, and can act on it rather than just label it.
The world of technology is certainly moving. And some tools are even starting to move in that direction: BridgeApp has agents built into the workspace layer, Notion AI works within the doc context, ClickUp has its own assistant. Whether any of them actually close the context gap in practice is still something I'm figuring out.
What's your experience? Has AI actually changed how you run projects day to day or is it mostly useful for drafting status updates nobody reads?
As someone with 5 years construction/electrical experience and 1 year being a lead foreman position I’m curious to know if anyone has landed a construction management position with no degree and just experience in something like assistant pm,project engineer,assistant super or construction coordinator ? Im thinking of going to get an AS in construction management but also thinking if I could get a good starting position with a GC with room to grow it may be in my better interest to just go start working with them and get more experience but on the management side,My end goal is to get my GC license which as of right now I have 3 years working under a GC/CBC,In FL you need 4 years total working under those licenses and 1 of those years being a super or Foreman position so I’m not very far off from being qualified for the test,Let me know your thoughts it would be much appreciated! Just an end thought (I’m currently having my resume made by a professional company that specializes in construction resumes so I’m hoping for them to make it sound and look very appealing)Thanks everyone!
Hey everyone
I’ve been working as a Contract Administrator/Contracts & Commercial Analyst for around 4 years in the construction and renewable energy industry in Australia and I’m looking to complete my PRINCE2 certification to help move into more project-focused roles.
There are so many providers out there (PeopleCert, ILX, Knowledge Academy, Lumify, PM Partners etc.) and I’m not sure which one is actually worth it.
I’m mainly looking for:
Would love to hear:
Many thanks
new to project scheduling and using ms project. i have been learning how to create schedules from scratch on complex projects. work breakdown structures seem to confuse me more since it is always just a list of activities and not very detailed. i am very much learning as I go but I really would like to get better at the skills. i know things take time but any advice would be appreciated for schedule development as a whole.
This is a reference to the LinkedIn learning course by Chris Croft and Doug Rose, where both of them are discussing waterfall vs Agile.
One particular aspect of the video that's driving me crazy is that if a true Agile cross-functional team has people with generalised knowledge in different areas, all built together in one team, then there would be no internal dependencies within the team because each team focuses on the same sprint, technically evolving products with the help of their knowledge in their respective domains.
While Mr. Rose argues that Agile teams have problems with dependencies. I can come to think of him referring to non-structural, external dependencies, but then he goes on to say that organisational dependencies are a huge problem. I mean, how is that possible in a small true agile team in theory (in theory because I would like to understand the concept without any practical aspect to it first, and later adjust to the practical ways of the world).
