Apparently, just developing products, managing projects, and building companies, is no longer a sign of ability, so I’m off to school, late at night, and in the wee hours of the morning, to get a certification from PMI (Product Management Institute).
I recently started studying their handbook, the PMBOK guide. Its a little too text book for real life but a helpful tool in learning or refreshing one on vocabulary of the profession. Much more formal than anything I have experienced in the start-up space, but an enjoyable pursuit none the less.
Let you know if I pass the test – I plan to sit it before May 2012, schedule permitting.
