On a Professional Level, what did you achieve in the 1st Quarter of 2018 ?

As for certifications, the big one was the PMI-RMP.
I also completed the Six Sigma Yellow Belt and several of the Marketing certifications - SCMS-A, SCDM-A, SCMR-A, SCCS-A, NCN-A.
Professionally I have transitioned to the PMO at my office and am quite excited about the new direction this is taking my career.
I am sitting back now and thinking about what additional certifications will enhance this new career path. And enjoying a break from studying after back to back certifications :)

PMI- RMP is the goal but that I have set for first half of 2018.

My big play for 2018 is to be more publicly active within the online communities and build eminence and recognition in my fields. I've started off Q1 by joining several LinkedIn groups where I can ask and answer questions more frequently.

Professional development has slowed down for me, which isn't a good thing. 2017 was my "year of certifications" so most of the certifications I wanted to get have already been tackled. At this point I'm starting to feel over-educated and under-experienced, so I'm hesitant to set new growth goals.

I'm open to ideas of what to work on in the mean time, while I wait for new job responsibilities and experience.

Good Luck Sante.

What is the reason you do not see any value in the Prince 2 at this moment ? If you can share of course.

I think I am at the same point as you Jason. Several certifications, but in need of more experience. That is also my focus this year. I am going to try to take in more at work, try to get involved in my local PMI group, and look at specific training to add relevant skills at work.

I also want to sit down with myself and do a good assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Is there something I can do on my own? Is there a business I can start up?

Rami a few reasons: 1. Prince2 now has Prince2 Agile which you can actually do without the other certifications; it would be harder as you still need to pretty much learn the Prince2 Practitioner content good enough to pass that exam before learning the Prince2 Agile stuff and then actually passing that exam, 2. PMI-ACP and AgilePM in my and many other people's view are the best two Agile project management certifications around so why do one that is third, fourth or even fifth down the list. And 3. unless its in the UK where Prince2 is preferred, here in Australia it's around 50/50 between that and the PMP. But you guys in Canada and USA its almost all PMP I would say.
