PMP - In Good Standing - 2024 01 14
When it came time to renew my PMP certification I decided to let it go. I was working 500+ hours a month looking after Mom and her family caregiving operation. I had finished my last full time job a year ago and was not in a position to seek out another full time consulting appointment. I was working part time for Artist Response Team, that work did not relay on my continuing professional certification. Things changed this month because the Evidence Alliance activated the Strategic Patient Oriented Research (SPOR) research topic I had submitted in 2022. In my first meeting with the research team I was given two assignments: Project Manager and Researcher (Social Science discipline). After the meeting I realized I was not ready to retire my PMP certification. Today I went through the process of submitting all the professional development work I did between August 2, 2020 and August 1, 2023. I have to admit, it was surprisingly satisfying to recap the work I did in that time....
