Find some friends, Give a rating
| So you are new to the neighborhood, it's time to get out and meet some friends. I would start by looking at the topics that interest you under Practices. Take a peek at the articles, blogs and discussions that are going on. What's trending in those practice areas? Who's talking about it? Do you have a comment or opinion that you would like to add? These are questions that we all ask when we are new on the block. Don't be shy. Give a rating or leave a comment to the content that interest you. Once you get the hang of that, start adding some new friends to your network. I'm surprised how fast my network has grown and I look forward to engaging with new people.

| Hi there! Marjorie, here, from the community team with a quick tip to help you get started in your new community! So you’ve been subscribed to PMI Communities of Practice for some time now and they are moving! But…how do you get from PMI to ProjectManagement.com? How do we help YOU move to where community now lives? Well, that’s the easy part. All you have to do is connect your PMI.org account on ProjectManagement.com through single sign-on! Still not convinced it’s so easy? Just follow the steps below:
Seems simple enough, right? Once you have linked your PMI account to ProjectManagement.com, you will notice that we have pulled in your last two years of active volunteer engagement from the PMI Volunteer Relationship Management System (VRMS), your chapter affiliation, and your active PMI certifications. Once you’re all set, connect with me and your other peers throughout the community and start contributing. We’ll give you more information on how to do that later. You can also list projects that you’ve worked on and test your project management knowledge with the PM Challenge! If you have trouble getting connected, please reach out to us and we will gladly help you get settled in. We’ll see you around the community! |
