Hi there,

I'm a PM in the pensions/asset management industry where I would say our data teams are very infant. I've always been a technical person in the IT Infrastructure, various ERPs and BA space, but would like to pursue a data cert for project managers. Can anyone suggest a good online or virtual class cert track which has been helpful for them?

I'm looking for concepts covering various major platforms (i.e. Hadoop, BI platforms and infrastructure), along with data governance and AI fundamentals for PMs. Any suggestions are helpful!

I don't know a lot about the following, but I recently heard about the Cross Industry Standard Process for Data Mining (CRISP-DM), the Obtain, Scrub, Explore, Model, and iNterpret model (OSEMN), and the Data Science Team Lead (DSTL) course from DSPA. I'm going to do some research before considering taking the course, but it's not high on my priority list, so don't wait for an update before doing your own research.

Hello Summet ! I was searching something in similar area and found some courses offered in Courseara, Kellogs and Harward Business Analytics - not sure if it contains what you are looking for but worth giving try.

If you agree with me about a PM must not be a subject matter expert then you can find courses and information outside there mainly inside the organizations which are the vendors or support for those tools. If you ask me, the important thing is to understand about architectures more than tools.

Great responses from all.... I do agree with Sergio's comment above. Sometimes the deeper terms or processes can help problem solve more effectively, but not necessarily having to understand at a code level.
