I've finally arrived back in the Netherlands and it's been a whirlwind few days! I consider the "Ask the Expert" sessions to really be so beneficial to the wider community as well as the individuals involved. I wanted to provide a summary of the main things that really struck me over the weekend and some final thoughts about the conference.
Key elements:
This years session really had a few stand out areas of conversation:
- Career advice: A lot of people wanted to talk to us for career advice as well as knowing where to go next or issues that they had in their career
- Growth plans/ development: This was a really hot topic for a lot of people. They were struggling to know how to establish a development plan and knowing what they really wanted from their career.
- Transitioning to a Scrum Master/working in an agile environment: This came from several people who weren't sure where to start or where to go in their agile career. There seems to be a gap between when you have your training and when you really start using agile in your daily career.
Key areas of advice given:
- Your value: Spend some time understanding who you are, what talents you have and more importantly, what you want to do in your career. Then make any move that you want to make
- Investigate! Research your local job market, look at the area that you're in and see what's available and open to you. Reach out to some recruiters in your area and see what's available.
- PMI Chapters: Look at your local PMI Chapter and see what they can do to help. Network with your other Project Management colleagues and see what opportunities you can get from them.
- Talk to your HR: Ask them what's available for you at your company and tell them what/ where you want to go.
Looking forward at your career and path is the most important thing that you can do for your professional development. You need to understand and analyse within yourself what you want to do and what's important for you.
Did you attend #PMIcon17 and did you enjoy it? Did you come to the Ask the Expert area?

Sorry I missed #PMIcon17. It looks like there were a lot of good personal development/growth opportunities.
Thanks! @Stephane - i'd definitely recommend coming to the next one. It's a great way to learn more and develop!
