Project Management Central

I will start with myself. On a professional level, in 2019:

1) Professional Development - I attained some of the certifications on my bucket list and exceeded my target:

AgilePM Practitioner, AgilePgM, PfMP, PMI-PBA, Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP), Agile Analysis Certification (IIBA-AAC), Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (LSSBB), PMO Value Ring Certified Practitioner (PMO-CP), Professional Scrum Developer (PSD), Professional Scrum Product Owner II (PSPO II)

2) Became a certified Agile and Traditional Project Management Trainer with the International Association of Project Managers

3) Handed over two successful major projects to our client.

4) Volunteered, mostly with PMI, on different functions.

On a Personal Level, long story short, this wasn’t my year at all as I lost my dear Grandmother, and I had my first operation ever which went south so to sum it up, 2019 was a fruitful year Career and Development wise but not on a personal level. I am hoping for a better year in 2020.

Dear Rami
Interesting this your topic
Thanks for sharing

You raised a question:
How can we become certified Agile and Traditional Project Management Trainer with the International Institute of Project Management?

Is there a training course for trainers promoted by PMI?

Is there a trainer training certification at PMI?

I would say professionally, getting a job I love, finally. Personally, hmm, I haven't much time other then study, so I guess completing another year toward my academic goals.

Hello Rami: First of all, I wish for you a wonderful year in 2020 both personally and professionally! You have been a professional source of encouragement to me and so many others on this site. Secondly, thank you for posing this question. It is always a good thing to look back and take a moment to reflect on the prior year. With gratitude, I had a very good year both personally and professionally. 1. Professionally: 2019 was a year of new projects, new responsibilities and new relationships for which I am very grateful. Beyond my normal duties, it was a privilege to attend the PMI Global Symposium in October and the PMO Symposium 2019 in November. INW PMI Chapter meetings were also important to me and I began mentoring a wonderful person in October. We currently meet weekly and it has been such a great experience to encourage someone else on their project management journey. Recently I agreed to share a live webinar on this site in January (on the 7th). Many good things! 2. On a personal level, a new grandson joined our family and we are building a new home - both very exciting and wonderful experiences. I feel humbled and blessed for so many reasons and look back on 2019 with fond memories while looking forward to 2020 with enthusiasm.

Hi Rami -
This year has been active :)

I began a new role as an Agile Coach with a new consulting firm, but still under the PPM umbrella, which I really appreciate. I am gaining experience within a new space, digital marketing, and in a new industry, Life Sciences. It has been amazing and I expect it to continue.

Personally, no achievements with professional development, e.g. no new certifications, but there are plans next year. I have also become more active physically, getting back into running on a semi-regular basis. A bit more difficult in winter, but have made strides in the right direction.

Extracurricular wise, was invited as a guest for this years PMI Global Conference. That was also amazing. Got to meet several community members in person and hang out. Really appreciative of that opportunity.
