HI George,

Yes, I would say that gaining my PMP was very beneficial in teaching me how to manage stakeholder expectations, Inter-team communication, Action Item Delivery, etc. As a Software Implementation PM I'm constantly asked to communicate between our internal engineering team and our stakeholders regarding what they are expecting to have delivered. Luckily I'm not alone, and all my projects also require a Technical Lead to communicate the more complex aspects of the projects to our engineers.

By obtaining my PMP I find that I can more efficiently prioritize action items based on customer requirements, manage internal teams bandwidth and lack thereof, as well as communicate more effectively with cross-functional team members. All in all I feel my PMP has helped me a ton and would also prove beneficial to yourself given your brief background.

Hi George,
yes, the prep helped a lot with team dynamics and stakeholder engagement. It gives you tools for motivating teams, resolving conflicts and communicating more clearly across roles.
I work with cross-functional teams too, and I’ve noticed real improvements in how I lead and align everyone.

Best of luck with your prep!

Based on my experience, it's highly useful.

Hi all,

I’m gearing with PMP prep to strengthen my leadership style. I deal with a diverse team with designers, devs, producers. But I want to hear from the passers if the prep was useful for team dynamics and stakeholder impact?

Would love to hear your experience!
