Don't be a slacker, get certified!

I think many professionals are misunderstanding my perspective on certification and why I am an advocate of, at least, for industry project managers, to get their PMP.

I am a hands-on developer and have been since the dawn of the "PC" age. My first computer was an Apple II. I got an Apple Lisa in 1983 (the Mac forerunner) - and still develop for Linux, iOS, Windows with a plethora of Win and Mac machines.

I am also a PM with a highly regarded industry cert - a PMP, that is current. Early in my career i got pretty tired of working for incompetent managers and so studied for and obtained an MBA and later a PMP, with experience to match.

One the reasons I've remained with my current non-technology box company contract for so long is that there is little to no manic tech hype and no overzealous, green or incompetent, non-certified manager hovering over me.

It would be great to help you as a PM get your act together. Buy my PMP Exam Sim and get your PMP cert, please!
