On August 05,2025, I successfully defended my MBA thesis. Working full time and travelling more the 300Km on weekends for lectures was quite grueling.
In all, my PM mindset was a strong contributing factor in this 2 year journey.
I'm glad I'm PMP. My "when to do what and how to do it" was seriously strengthened and again I can confirm , PM mindset can be operationalized daily.

Congrats, i like your way of thinking. I belive that PM knowledge may be helpful in all initiavites, as the idea to projectize all initiavies. Not all deserve full detailling, but for sure PM knowledge is helpful.

Thanks Sir....
Your remarks are good

Congratulations on your MBA defense, Michael!



That’s a huge milestone 🎉 Balancing work, travel, and studies takes real discipline. I agree PM skills like planning, prioritizing, and managing constraints are not just for projects, but for life. Your story is a great reminder of that.

That's so true Pavan,
Thank you

Thank you, Kwiyuh, for sharing this experience. The project management strategies were certainly very useful for organizing your tasks between work, studies, travel, thesis defense, family, etc. Project management can be applied not only in our work environment but also in aspects of our daily lives. In my case, I also apply it to managing my vacation trips, and I've had very good results!

Congratulations on your new degree, having a thesis approach in Technological Advancements goes hand by hand with the current requirements of this era.
