BEST WAY TO BECOME A PROJECT MANAGER. 

Good day everyone,

I need some sound advice, I want to become a project manager in about 2-3 years and I have been a Business Analyst for about 3 years. I already have my CAPM and will be getting my PMP in January plus I start my masters in BIT (business information technology) in February as well. I consider myself to be a pretty strong Business Analyst and I keep myself up to date with new business processes and technologies.

I don't want to be a regular project manager but one with a very good technical skillset as well especially when it comes to databases. I want to hear from the pros what steps you think I should take or if I am missing on something. Would really appreciate any advice I can get.

Your taking a lot of great steps to learn new and valuable skills as it relates to project management.  From a continuing education perspective, I can't really offer you any more.  But don't forget, no matter how much book knowledge you have it can be hard to get that first job in a new area based on an interview.  Your best approach will be to get involved in a project where you have some project management responsibilities, and then over time ask for more responsibility in this area.  After you have some experience under you belt finding that next PM role should be easier.

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
Now, I know, I don’t know what kind of new intro BPO may require, but at least I can promise you upfront that I have something different to say about Business Process Outsourcing or simply BPO. What is it? This hasn't been a call center job or a sales job as we all think. It is a mammoth profile, and firms are grappling to ge...
